When I used to use minicom and lrzsz (in my days "before ppp" :) I
never could get the -r option to work to recover an aborted download.
I suspect that the problem was with Chuck's rzsz on my uni account -
it knew it wasn't talking to yamm or dsz/gsz and just wouldn't
cooperate :-(

Try using one of the older versions of rzsz that would honour a
download recovery request.  It appears that the newer versions won't
do it anymore with "just any" rz at the other end...

Cheers
