I can successfully get the program over to the GS and it starts ok, but there is a slight problem. If I enter R, and then enter the filename of the ADT dsk image on the centris, it gives me some random code and hex values and the program is irrecoverable from that point.
I know what you're talking about - it's a couple of lines of garbage on the ADT client end. I saw that recently on my Laser 128, but rebooting fixed it. Not an ideally debuggable situation. :-(

I have gone into the configuration and set the baud to various places, even upped the retry attempts, to no avail.
When you go into config, did it auto-select "IIgs Modem" for you? That would suggest that it at least figured out where your serial hardware was.

The directory function also works, and well, and lists the image I am trying to grab off the centris. But as I described above, every attempt fails.
That suggests to me that bi-directional commands ought to be working. Can you try sending a disk back up to the Centris to see how it fails? I'm coming up blank at this point. If directory commands work, that usually signifies a good connection. What can you tell me about the IIgs? Is it a vanilla ROM 03, and you're using a 8-pin min-din cable from the IIgs to the Centris?
