Hi,
Hope some of you guys can help me. I'm trying to download files using
Zmodem from Unix (Ultrix) to/from PCs. I have 'sz' (v0525) and have tried to
compile it both in Ultrix and NeXT computers. On my PC I have DSZ.COM
(v.1015). 
The problem is DSZ (and SZ) won't work *unless* I dial from
PCs to Ultrix using DSZ in terminal mode (which is very cumbersome). 
If I dial using any other communication program such as ProComm or MLink,
and shell out to DOS to run DSZ (or use their built-in Zmodem protocol),
DSZ (or SZ) won't be able to communicate. They give me TIMEOUT error or
UNKNOWN character error message. I don't thinks it's 'sz' problem because
I can't run DSZ in terminal mode 'DSZ port 1 speed 2400 t' either (to use
it in terminal mode, not to transfer files) after I shell out to DOS.

I don't know much about modem or zmodem, so I'd appreciate it if I can
get any help at all. So far I have to get by with kermit to transfer
files (slooooww).

PS: Please e=mail. I don't usually follow this group.

Thanks again,
Regards,
