Hi, I have a slight headache...I am currently on a system (a Sequent machine
running a SysV 3.2.1 variant), and the only protocol that will work is
kermit!  A large headache, considering a 3 meg file will take a long time to
download...we also have xmodem/rz/sz, but these won't work.  If I try to
send with sz, my terminal at home will pick up some signal and wait, but
that's as far as it gets.  It eventually times out.  Xmodem works
similarly..the home terminal program will receive a file name of the
incoming file, but that's it, it times out after a while.

Can someone e-mail me some info about what makes kermit so special that it
will work, while the others won't?  I'm pretty ignorant about these
protocols, except that I REALLY would like to get zmodem working...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
