I was wondering if i should post a message asking if PMFS even works.
I have tried the posted version on my 286 to a 520 and all the atari
side just locks up. With DEBUG defined i see that pmfsu is getting 
checksum errors and re-trying. With the most recently posted version,
it gets a checksum, and then does not re-try. I have sent mail to 
the author, but have not received a response. Has anyone been able to
get PMFS to work between a 286 with SCO Xenix and a ST? I tried can
do Zmodem at 19.2K, but i brought the baud down to 4800 with the same
results. I think that the 286 side is creating a P.disk with bytes
that are swapped as far as the atari end is concerned.

I have no idea what qstauto is, i lost everything i had when the harddrive
crashed and i can't afford a new drive.
