Unless you want to use Windows. In that case it _is_ the
`Zmodem Project' after all!!!

To add a vector reset of `int 14h' wouldn't add even 2k to the
code.
When you say "very few people need" I'm guessing you run W9x
and therefore do have the zmodem in _your_ `Kermit / Zmodem
Project' version. If you had no access to a working zmodem
you'd sing a different tune me thinks.

The need is to use this over telnet. DSZ does not _do_ telnet.

Or buy a new computer with Windows installed and use the
`Kermit / Zmodem Project' version. We know.

When you get #3 working, please do let us know?
Anyone with the proper version of MSC and MASM who is familiar
with the source code could have the `int 14h' vector reset
working in an afternoon (if you include time to do a few
compiles, testing, and compressing it into a BINARY archive to
upload to WERMIT). For DOS programmers this is not rocket
science its standard operating procedure.
BTW: I'm not sure using the 'd' switch for DSZ when doing a
dialup is a good idea. It tells DSZ to ignore carrier detection
which means it could lockup on you if carrier drops.
