How quickly do the Cs come out? There should be one every two seconds or 
so. Some builds have been known to have a broken timer delay so it times 
out too quickly.

Are you sure you are sending the file via x/y-modem correctly in your 
terminal application? You also have to make sure you start sending it 
quick enough before it times out.
