I know this won't help, but I spent a fair amount of my time drinking coffee
while downloading large programs into a 630 during the past 2 years.

I have used this 630 either connected to a Vax through a datakit node or
a modem, and also connected to a 386 at 19200 baud through a straight cable.

The Vax was running the Ninth (later Tenth) edition Unix, and the 386
was running AT&T sVr3.2u. All downloads were while in layers or 630mux.

I have never ever had a hang, not even when downloading over a noisy
phone line. This suggests that the problem may have been in the 3b2.
(I have rarely used the 630 with a 3b2)

Paul.
