I'm trying to run ZMODEM over a LAN from a VAX to a PC.  The
connection eats certain control characters, and I even know which ones,
mostly.

sz (v3.03 5-09-89) has a diagnostic facility to determine which chars 
can't be transmitted, but apparently no way [that I can find in the 
rather terse documentation] to cope with such a situation, e.g. by 
using only 7-bit chars.

Attempts to transfer binary files never get beyond the
first block; attempts to transfer plain text files appear to run to
completion (but there seem to be other problems - I haven't checked
exhaustively yet).
