I suspect there is an error in UNIX MacPut w/MacBinary.  To work
around it, I download a binhex file (.hqx) using our unix 4.2 "xmodem"
or "mackermit" facility, then convert it with BinHex.  "MacPut -u" may
also work, as the previous note suggests.  My Mac II has problems with
several telecommunications programs, so I use various methods.

1.  Red Ryder 9.4 -- usually crashes in xmodem.  Sometimes works if the
68020 cache is turned off.  If you're downloading .hqx files, then you
can use MacKermit (slower), which works reliably.

2.  MacTerm -- usually works, but will hang sometimes (clock stops
permanently).  I turn "CRC off" in MacTerm, and if I'm switching from
another telecom program (Red Ryder), I switch early so that MacTerm
sees some normal characters before it begins the transfer.

3.  BackDown -- (downloading DA) -- I just discovered this and it works
extremely well, it hasn't crashed yet.  It supports CRC/Checksum
xmodem downloading.
