 There is a problem with the lines or software on that BBS that is
 causing the CRC errors to happen too frequently.   I don't tend to get
 them on other BBS.
 I had thought that Qmodem was supposed to be able to recover from a CRC
 error.  It certainly goes through some actions that would look like it
 is trying, but almost always gets hung up with the statement "Sending
 ZRPOS".   At that point, I have no option other than to hit ESC, and
 disconnect from the BBS using ALT-X.  Even CTRL-K does not stop things
 as advertised.

 Based on another suggestion here I have put it to ON (and also set EMS
 to ON) but am still having the problems.
 Thanks for your response.  Hope someone comes up with how to make
 Qmodem successfully restart after a CRC error and not get hung on
 Sending ZRPOS.
