I'm uploading to the following BBS systems:
1) My own test Mystic BBS - works sometimes, usually once but then not
again until maybe the next day - kind of random. Using Zmodem. I
successfully did a couple uploads yesterday to my test BBS and to a
couple other live BBSs on the internet and it worked using Xmodem. So I
thought I found the issue. But, nope. Could not upload to any of them
today with Xmodem or anything else (usually try Zmodem).

2) I am trying to upload to other systems like Synchronet . . . well, I
guess that is it. Just synchronet and mystic BBSs.

As a work-around in Linux I'm using FQTERM, a Chinese BBS terminal app,
to upload my REP packets to Synchronet and Mystic BBSs using Zmodem.
You're reading this because FQTERM uploaded it via Zmodem.
