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.
