subject: Error correction on 31/33 connects?

Yo Patrick!
At the time that I'm writing this, I'm uploading a 777316 bytes file to a USR 
Courier VEverything with a R33/T31 connect (the receive rate shifted from 31 
to 33 after a while!). After having downloaded a 1.9M file at 3700 cps, I 
wanted to upload the aforementioned file from 777Kb (in the mean time that's 
completed and I'm logged off).
Everything seemed to be OK during the upload, but when the file was sent 
completely, I got the message "Correcting Transmission Error (1)" until (8). 
Then the upload resumed from 218Kb. When it was done again, I got 4 more of 
these messgaes, after which the transfer resumed from 498Kb. After this 
transfer, again I got this messgage twice more and it resumed from 600Kb. 
this time, the transfer was successful.
How come the modem didn't react immediately when an error was reported? I 
used Zmodem (the built-in version of the OS/2 version of ZOC), with which 
I've never had any problems before (with 28k connects). I "know" some errors 
were reported by the remote modem during the (re)sends, because at a certain 
moment, the RD led would flash (this used to be the indication the a bad 
packet was received by the remote when I still used my Supra 14.4).
Is this an error in the transfer protocol (Zmodem) or in the rom? Anyway, 
these are the AT%q1 and AT%q2 reports after the call (I have an external SFM 
28.8 (well, 33.6 :) using flashrom beta-23):
