I am looking for a version of tip that is capable of performing
Zmodem binary file transfers.

I have compiled tipx (from ftp.uu.net), but I cannot get the
file transfer mechanism to work.  The tipsz and tiprz programs
that are called from tip do not work properly.  I always get a
"sh: xxxxx Arithmetic exception" message, and sometimes the
tiprz program even dumps core.

Has anyone been able to get tipx's file transfer programs to run
properly under SunOS 4.1.2?

I have tried tipx and pcomm now, and I can't get either program's file
transfer mechanism to work at all.  Is there a tip-like program with
Zmodem file transfer that is known to work under SunOS?  I definitely
do not want to have to resort to kermit!
