Back in the Good Old Days (tm) when the dialouts were freely accessible,
I had similar problems uploading and downloading stuff from the various
A^2 BBSes I called.  As I recall, there was some way to get some sort of
"menu" from those modems, so you could adjust parameters and such, but
it's been such a long time ago that I've forgotten how to do this, if one
can still get a modem.  Have you tried emailing info@merit.edu?
