Re: using 'sz' as a PC-Unix link works fine, provided the modem is directly
connected to the Unix box.  If some kind of dial-up network is being used
with something like a 7E1 parity then file transfers of binaries may not
work (does anybody know a good reliable fix for this, in situations where
the user can't control the line settings on the network?)
 
rz/sz sources can be found on the UNIX-C section of Simtel20
