Ned,
May be a case of the blind leading the blind here, but it appears from the message "Modem error" that you are playing online which I have never done. The .yyy file in a PBEM game is simply a text file which lists the situation as it exists when your opponents turn is advanced, much like a .SCN file. Did your opponent advance the turn? If not, I would guess that the .yyy file is null. Are you at the same game level (2.x)? If your opponent has advanced the turn -- the .yyy is corrupted in some form--, can they go back to the last saved portion of the turn prior to advancing? If not, then probably need to redo the turn in its entirety.
As previously stated I am only guessing here since I have no experience with online play.
