- This is vague--where is the problem: in windows or on your university
- computer? What options are you using with sx? Do you go through an annex
- (which is sensitive to control characters)?
-
- One thing you might want to try is using zmodem with the -e option set.
- This will escape any control characters that are being sent.
-
- You might also want to try kermit in binary mode :Q It's slow, but on
- the VMS system I once had access to, it was the only available option
- due to system administrator neglect.
