- I run rz/sz with no problem under minicom. When you execute either program,
- they specify to now run the complement on your dialup connection. However,
- this won't work for me, as no input seems to go over the data lines after
- rz/sz is executed. So, what I do on my dialup is (sleep 10;sz -w 1024 *), and
- then escape back to minicom and run the rz from the download menu.
- Works fine for me with no problems.
