Wirt is exactly right.  The WRQ protocol uses control sequences like  Ctrl-b
and Ctrl-c in the data stream.  If the modem is acting on these control
sequences it is going to cause unpredictable and unreliable behavior.

There are a couple of built-in troubleshooting configurations in the
Protocol tab of  the File Transfer Setup that might work:
*Troubleshooting to HP3000
*Troubleshooting to HP3000 over Modem

Both of these configurations set the transfer link to 7 bit and redefine
some of the other WRQ protocol settings.  If this works the transfer will be
quite a bit slower.
