- Or, the 1.2.4 version of pcomm for UNIX, available from your favourite
- Internet archive site, compiles and runs OK on SGIs. There are some strange
- quirks, but they're ignorable. Then, get the rzsz Zmodem software from the
- same archive site, compile it, and at it to the "External Transfer Programs"
- menu for PComm.
-
- Using this setup (and T2500s) I've transfered about 100Mb of stuff from
- offsite to an SGI box over the last while. It's both faster and more
- convenient than the uuencode/%get options.
