I have sent the following fixes and others to Michal; perhaps he would
be good enough to maintain the NeXT version of tipx for all of us...

A fix for C is:
diff -r uunet/tipx/cmds.c railway/nexttipx/cmds.c
658c659
<   strcat(xcmd,buf + 3);
---
>   if (strlen(buf) > 3) strcat(xcmd,buf + 3);


A (kludgy) fix for B is:
diff -r uunet/tipx/xfer/tiprz.c railway/nexttipx/xfer/tiprz.c
1029a1030
> unsigned brate;
1034a1036,1037
>   brate = Baudrate;
>   if (!brate) brate = 38400;
