That's the main reason for using Zmodem with CRC-16 or CRC-32
check. Zmodem is smart enough to spit out bad packets and resend
them, saving you from having corrupted files...
Try using HyperTerminal to Spectrum, though your phone wiring
and the two 28.8 modems, computers set to 56,700. Use Zmodem
and CRC check and shift-boot the GS for extra stability.
Crossworks is for people who don't have modems or terminal
programs. It is useful, but not as fast or secure as Zmodem.
