- I compiled the rz/sz sources under Domain/OS 10.3.0.8 on a DN3550 in SYSTYPE
- bsd4.3. I connect from my PC at home to my Apollo through a DECserver to a
- VAX (running VMS) and from the VAX to the Apollo via telnet. The connection
- turns out to be very robust. The modem runs at 2400 baud. On the PC, I use
- Crosstalk Mk.4, the latest version, using the build-in implementation of
- ZMODEM.
-
- I can upload files from my Apollo node to my PC by invoking the sz command at
- the Unix shell prompt. The transfer rate is outstanding at around 232
- characters per second. However, I can't get the rz command to download files
- from my PC to my Apollo. I do suspect the ZMODEM implementation in Crosstalk
- is, at least, partially at fault, but I can't be sure. The version of Kermit
- we have installed doesn't handle downloads to the Apollo as well as it handles
- uploads. We have to use smaller packets when downloading than when uploading,
- and download failures happen often. So it is possible that there is something
- about the Apollo that causes problems here.
