- Sigh. If only I could get zmodem to compile and run on a unix mainframe (sun,
- hp, next, etc). Yes, I've seen the various tips on setting raw modes,
- escaping control characters, eliminating one line in the source file,
- and so on, but I still can't get it to work with any PC based comm
- program that advertises X, Y or Z modem protocols, even when I have
- managed to get it to compile.

- So - what's the trick??? Which unix source are you using, Timo? (There
- are several PD versions to choose from). And what are the black magic words
- that I ought to know?
