It should be 1K-Xmodem, which as far as I can tell, is Ymodem.

Well, I'm not sure of what the exact cutoff size it, but 465,971 / 1024
=~455Kbytes; not too far off the mark.  However, I am sure that loads that
start with an f are fat loads and must come with a restricted load (which
starts with an r)...  Perhaps one of the @ascend.com people can clarify
this?
