Isn't that a Zmodem startup string? In that case, INPUT will never see it
because it is absorbed by the autodownload scanner.
I think it might be better to wait for a text message or menu fragment from
the BBS that appears only after all files have been sent. In case there is
more than one such message (e.g. one for success another for failure), use
MINPUT rather than INPUT.
