| Aha! I noticed that your terminal is an LTAn: device. This means that
you are using a LAT server of some sort. The question I have is "Which
LAT server are you using?". The early LAT servers that run on PDP-11's
did not perform flow control on incoming data, and were easily overrun
by attempts at performing "upload" file transfers. What is the banner
that you get before the "Username" prompt of the LAT? Does it prompt
"LAT>" or "Local>"? If you have a bonified DECServer, try SET FLOW XON,
or SET PASSALL. (One of them will be correct, the other will be
totally wrong.) If your prompt is "LAT>", you may be stuck with an old
LAT-11 server. If this is the problem, find a different dialup line
that is direct, or enters a legitimate DECServer(-100, -200, or -500)
that can handle the incoming data rate of a file transfer.
Another common problem with DECServers and file trasfers is that you may
have a "local" character or a "forward" character. Be sure to tell the
DECSercver SET FORWARD NONE and SET LOCAL NONE before proceeding with
the file transfer.

Good suggestions by Jeff, however I connect through a DECserver that works
just fine for up/downloading. My server port is set for FLOW CONTROL and
is not set PASSALL.
Have you tried XMODEM? (I know that's avoiding the problem, I just was
wondering if it bombed out too!)

Obvioulsy you don't set any forward or local characters, and are using a
TRUE DECserver, and not a LAT-11 server. The LAT-11 servers don't give
you any flow control options - they just take the data overruns and
crash your session.
