    Flow control problems. This will even happen if you are on a dumb 
terminal that is hooked up via network. YOu are telling the computer to 
spew out everything as fast as it can, and that speed is faster than the 
modem. The long and short of it is that you cannot cat things to stdout 
and expect long files to work fine. YOu have to 1)more them or 2) create 
your own cat program that provides pauses between each chunk of data to 
allow the buffer to clear. Something on the order of sending a 1k block, 
then waiting for a second, and sending another block .Sound like Zmodem 
yet? In fact, the most efficient way to do what you want to di is to 
Zmodem it tothe terminal PC. 

    However, is there a program that is like my option 2, a sort of 
self-pacing more? I'd be interested to know about it. 

Happy trails
