John - thanks for the suggestion. When I connect directly I have good
choices at 19200 (the Interfacer 4 limit) using XMODEM.

It is when I use a TCP/IP connection that XMODEM fails. It seems to
fail when it hits block 255. ZMODEM does not fail but as I said the
ZMODEM code I am using just does not work above 4800 or so. That is
one of the reason I am anxious to get the PIC-RTC board as that would
give me the ability to use a 100 ms interrupt rather than a loop and
might also make it easier to make the Interfacer 4 receive interrupt
driven.

However, since the Bluetooth connection works great with XMODEM at
19200 I think I am OK until I get some higher speed interface for my
S-100 system.
