- Here's a few lines for your .kermrc file. This allows you to
- type 'rz' at the Kermit command line and have everything work
- happily. You'll need the just-released version of C-kermit or
- one of the many alphas/betas that led up to it.
-
- You need to 1) be using a version of rz/sz before 3.0, or 2)
- modify a later version to not force the file transfer to
- '/dev/tty'. Older versions of rz fail on my '386 SVR4 system by
- default, but if you define HOWMANY to be less than 128, things
- will work fine.
-
- I haven't got a non-Unix box for calling out with at the moment;
- this combo of Kermit and rz/sz works adequately for now.
- The fancy Unix communications packages I've seen cannot keep up
- with high-speed modems.
