Jim,

Sterm Version 1.3 does have an elusive bug somewhere that causes that.  I'm not
sure if it is in the termcap code, or Sterm's logic.  I only noticed it a
couple times here, but I'm been running a slightly different version for the
past year or so.  I'll be uploading that version in the near future and I hope
it fixes that bug for you.

Also, I noticed that you arn't using the -f flag when you start Sterm.  If you
don't used this, Sterm assumes a "Classic" B transfer, which means no packet
send-ahead.  You'd very likely get a 34% efficiency rate then.  If you are
downloading to your hard drive, use the -f flag and you should get transfer
rates of around 72% - 78%.

Mark
