- To answer my own question, me, I got the patches for Xcomm, which
- actually makes it work... using the hacked rzsz with the $ (NOT the !)
- command, redirecting I/O, makes it work. Cool.

- Why is that, when using the hacked rzsz with ! and trying: rz <
- /dev/modem > /dev/modem doesn't work? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
