Downloading problems with WiModem 232 and a UDS-10

I also looked at the manual for the UDS10 and you should have the 'pack control' set to 00 and the 'Telnet terminal type' set to disabled.

I'm not sure what "pack control" and telnet terminal type are on the UDS-10. I did logon in to the UDS-10 remotely and take a screenshot
of the current settings. Here they are:
