Crosstalk for Windows and Kermit...

I have been trying to transfer files to and from Sun workstations on
campus.  I have a copy of Crosstalk for Windows v2.2.  My problem is
that the modem connection is 7 bits, so xmodem, ymodem, zmodem, etc.
don't work.  However, I can't seem to get Kermit to work under
Crosstalk either.

The problem seems to be that bad packets are not properly handled.  In
particular, bad packets get saved in the downloaded file -- the
downloaded file ends up anywhere from a few hundred to ten thousand
bytes larger than the source.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

Note: a few more details.  My modem is a Gateway Telepath and I am
connected at 9600 baud.  At first I thought the modem might be the
problem, but I can easily transfer files from Compuserve at high
speed.  Also, I tried winkermit and it transfers files okay, but
slowly (I can't increase the packet size above 94).
