I had the problem here with RR and ZT but all I did was to 'stty -tabs' and that took care of the problem. Also I noted that the ver .7x of ZT screws up the screen under vi but after switching to .8x then all was resolved. Personal note: although Zterm does not have scripting ablilities, not being a modem power user, I have no need for them. Zterm is easier to handle and not as complex for novice users to work with. It also is smart in regards to file types that are being downloaded and ZModem transfers. RR is not and has no Zmodem abilities. I have yet to get a copy of White Knight for evaluation.
