subject: upload problem-Max??

A user called a mysterious problem to my attention.  Max hangs when they 
attempt to upload.  I'm not sure whether the problem is with Max, X00, or the 
modem.  Details:
Node 1 is the bbs & mail machine (386/USR Sport 28.8).  Node 3 (286/Motorola 
Modemsurfer 28.8, recently replaced under warranty) is networked to node 1 
with Lantastic 6.0.  Both run X00, the mail machine runs Bink, and node 1 
runs in WFC mode.  Uploads to node 1 hang; aborting the upload will 
eventually return the caller to a menu, but it then will not register 
commands; it does however detect loss of carrier & cycle back to WFC.  
Occasionally when it does that it stops answering when RING occurs.  Uploads 
to node 1 work if the caller is *not* using error correction.  Speed, 
protocol, lock speed, and X00 settings don't seem to make any difference, nor 
does resetting the modem to factory settings.  Downloads, uploads to node 3, 
& other bbs activity function normally.
Both nodes are running from the same copies of Max & X00, with the same 
settings, which would seem to rule out corrupt files.
If I run a comm program (Qmodem) on node 1 with the same init string (ATZ), 
it will accept uploads just fine, so the hardware seems ok.
Any ideas?
