I was rather perplexed by this one a while back and found that by using
the ~C command of tip I was able to call up an "external" protocol i.e:
/* start the protocol on the remote */
foo% sz -b foo.tar.Z
/* use command exit to start protocol on your machine */
foo% ~C rz -b /* no need to specify file name IF you use Zmodem - your
mileage may vary... */
.... misc messages ...
away for n seconds
foo%
I've tested this on numerous Unix boxes (Sun, PC Clones w/SCO, etc...) and,
yes - even dos...
It works.
