I too, am running on the same configuration, but I haven't had any trouble
with the downloading part...  As far as uploading is concerned, handshake
seems to have some trouble with xmodem/ymodem.  It appears to transfer right
until the *very* last block, at which point NACKs and other stuff starts
happening like crazy.  Oh yes, my host is a SUN 3/50, though I don't know
which code was used  (BSD 4.3 over here, of course).

Kermit works fine, however, and I use it to upload, and xmodem or ymodem to
download.  I have a feeling that the problem is to do with Handshake's
appending an extra 128 bytes onto the end of the file, but I'm not sure.
I've written to the author of the program about this, (together with a check
for Handshake -- thanks, Eric!) but I just mailed it yesterday, so unless
he's monitoring this it'll take some time....
