I have recently acquired a 486/33 EISA with 4MB RAM/105MB HDD, etc., etc.,
etc. I am using an old hayes compatible modem (1200 baud! Gasp!!) and telemate
3.01 software. Now what I'd like to do is download files from my Unix machine
at work, using zmodem (ideally) or X/Ymodem. I have downloaded zmodem.tar.Z,
uncompressed, tarred, and built sz, but it doesn't work! If I do 'sz foo.bar'
it will flag my PC at home to start a zmodem receive, but then not send any
data. I have messed around with any switches which I could possibly see as
relevant, but to no avail. Any suggestions? The unix host is a Sun Sparcstation
1+, running SunOS 4.1.1. (This is BSD unix) 

Please help! The fastest way I have of transfering files now is to uuencode
them, and send as pure text. This effectively slows down my modem by ~35%,
since it increases the filesize by that much. If I can get zmodem working,
then I'll consider buying a 2400 baud modem. Otherwise, I'll hold off until I
can afford a faster one, and suffer in the meantime!

Either post or E-mail, depending on how useful you think the information is
to general users. (Put the onus on someone else :-)

THANKS!!!!
