Ok, first of all, thanks to all who sent me help on getting Zterm to work with Unix's "sz" command. I tried the -w and -e option (both, neither, each) to no avail. Then, I tried something else. Some told me that it was probably the MNP on the modem (its a 2400 Microcom). I used a different dialup number (which was 1200 max) and it worked (without any options). However, dropping down to 1200 defeats the purpose I am after by using Zterm instead of Kermit. So, without changing anything, I logged back on the 2400 number and nothing worked again. Now, our unix has a method to see what mode you have dialed at. When typed, it said that I was on MNP. I shut it off (the modem stats now say NORMAL) and still it says MNP. My question is this: I am sure that the MNP is my problem. Unix is a 7 bit dialup. Some have said that Zterm needs 8 bits, but then, why would unix have the sz command and no possible way to get on in 8 bits? Once again, I could use any help with a) turning mnp off b) something else that might work.
