I'm using beta MacTerminal (version 0.15X) with the appropriate version
of macput, over a 1200 baud modem. As soon as I try to start a
transfer, I get an error box thrown up which says "GetInfo: Got
BadResult from GetBlock", and the transfer fails. Then I have to wade
through a bunch of macput output.

What can the problem be? The other system is a VAX running 4.2 BSD. I
don't see how it can be a line noise problem, since macget seems to
work all the time. I'm directly connected (no network connections), so
I don't see how it can be a flow control problem either. When I try
this onsite at 9600 baud, it usually works, though once or twice I've
had it fail the same way. Any explanations?
