    Phill, an error is mostly caused by line noise and Zmodem will send
    the block again until the CRC check is OK, the file is good.
    If you are cut off in middle of a download and go back online,
    Zmodem will start where it left-off.
    If you logon with real bad phone connection Zmodem will drop 1024k
    blocks to 512k block, it very rare. If this happens, its best to
    logoff and try again.
                               I hope this will help you,
                                              Fred
