Phill,
Don't dump those files. Since you use Qmodem Pro, you're undoubtedly
using Zmodem. I have had files come through with thirty or forty
errors showing in the download status screen, but the files were
intact and passed both the CRC and the -AV checks. That's usually a
sign theat the modem is battling line noise.
