If you're using PC/Intercomm anyway, use KERMIT for uploads (and downloads).
It is a lot faster (at 1200 baud) than a 300 baud ASCII transfer!  (and, of
course, you're guaranteed no errors...)

I HAVE done many 1200 baud ASCII uploads to the VAX here, but it runs BSD,
not VMS.  Also, it only works if I dial the VAX directly.  If I rlogin
from the other VAX I get overruns...  BTW: the echo-ing of chars by the VAX
back to the ST cannot quite keep up with the transmission during a 1200-baud
upload, so it LOOKS bad, but it works!  (Some chars come back to the ST after
the transmission is done, and some others may be lost, but if you look at the
file on the VAX it's all there.)
