-
- could be a number of things.... but usually it's a handshaking
- problem. Instead of the usual streaming zmodem, try:
-
- sz -brl 1024 <file.to.be.sent>
-
- the "b" tells the sz not to do any translating.
- the "r" tells the sz to resume transfer.
- the "l 1024" tells the sz to use 1024 bytes pockets.
-
- Your modem and computer must acknowledge every 1024 bytes pockets
- before the host modem and computer will send the next pocket.
-
- Hope this works...
