The RS/6000 with AIX 3.1 comes with xmodem.  Check the man page for it;
its user interface is different from the public-domain version available
on uunet.

I got a copy of xmodem v3.6 a few months ago and found it doesn't work
under AIX, at least with the system configured the way I have it.  A lot
of characters are apparently dropped; I can download files with a lot of
data errors, but I cannot upload them at all.  The xmodem supplied with
the system works a lot better, leading me to think the problem is not
with the modem configuration or the stty settings (8/N/1, 2400-baud).

Is xmodem v3.9 more reliable under AIX?  Our RS/6000 has the 8-port async
card.
