I use DSZ, but GSZ should work the same way. Just make the appropriate
name change to the following macros.
I've forgotten which one of the DOCUMENTATION files I found this in, but
by adding the following macros to my MSCUSTOM.INI file I can call DSZ
as an external protocol from MSKermit.

DSZ is installed in a directory in my path. I use Kermit's terminal emulation
for everything up to the point where I issue the:
sz [filespec]
command on the remote system command line. I then use [Alt + X] to return to
the local Kermit command line, where I use:
do rz
to initiate the Kermit "rz" macro defined above. This starts DSZ in the
receive mode, which initiates the file transfer via Zmodem. When the transfer
is complete, DSZ exits and returns to the Kermit command line. I can then
"connect" again to get back to the remote command line. The:
est 0 9600
passed to DSZ is supposed to cause the estimated transfer time to reflect
the correct 9600 baud rate of my V.32 modem, even though I use a DCE/DTE
rate of 19,200. This doesn't seem to work right, but I haven't yet tried to
determine why not. Also the "G" is supposed to be necessary to enable the
serial port, since when you run an external command, kermit is supposed to
shut off the serial port. It seems to work, so I haven't investigated if it
is really needed. Using "rz" on the remote system and "do sz" from the local
kermit command line initiates Zmodem "up-loads" in place of downloads. The
"t" macro is a special version of the download protocol, which I haven't
used yet. It is supposed to allow more automatic downloads to be performed.
I'm sure more automation could be included in the macros, but these work
quite well manually. Maybe someone else had improved on these macro's. With
MSKermit as the main comm. program and DSZ as an external protocol, I have
two of the most popular and reliable protocols available in an inexpensive
package.
