		I am trying to find a couple of things:
           
             1.  A newer than '87 version of RZSZ for Ultrix.
             2.  An Msdos shell that will successfully operate
                 Forsberg DSZ Zmodem between the PC and the
                 Dec.

	The purpose is to be able to transfer files to and from
    the Dec 5810 Ultrix system via the home PC. Procomm, GTPowercomm
    Telix, as well as several others refuse to operate.
    If You have any sourrces, please let me know.
r		The other item is any compression utility that will work
                on both the Dec and the pc. I have uuencode for pc, which
                is great, but Pkzip is the compression utility on th pc
                which is uncompatible with Ultrix.

	Mucos gracias, merci ble ble

             2.  An Msdos shell that will successfully operate
                 Forsberg DSZ Zmodem between the PC and the
                 Dec.
 
You might try a copy of Telemate for your PC (I got TM211.ZIP from GEnie). It 
has built-in Zmodem support. It autodetects a download (ie, type "SZ something" 
on the mainframe and the Telemate download window pops up all by itself). I 
don't know if it's possible for it to talk to RZ on an upload. I do it manually 
and it works.

To get a ms-dos zmodem to work properly with a unix RZSZ, try
starting rz or sz (on the unix side) with a "-w 2048" 
parameter.  I find this works best with Telix.  Others have
suggested altering some of the other parameters on the
rz or sz command line.
