- You may be confused about how ZModem works. It actually sends its output
- to stdout (on UNIX). For example, when I dial into my UNIX box, I'll
- type sz <filename> to initiate the download to my machine at home. My
- comm program then actually understands that a Zmodem transfer has started,
- and begins receiving automatically, although if yours doesn't, it can
- certainly be started manually.
- I'm not exazctly sure what you mean by "direct the data flow to the serial
- port," though. If you gave a little more detail as to how you're doing things,
- we might be of a little more help.
