Xmodem does not send a file name, so Saltbush asks where to save the download. The session's **File Transfer** page chooses 128-byte or 1K Xmodem blocks. 
 +  * **Kermit:** downloads start by themselves when the BBS starts sending. For uploads, start the receive on the BBS, then choose **Transfer → Upload with Kermit…**.
