Sorry if this is a stupid question, but does anyone know how to get commands like rz (receive zmodem) or sz (send zmodem) to work on your local system if you have used cu to connect to a remote computer? Normally you can escape to a local shell when in cu by typing '~!'. You can then issue commands like 'ls', 'who', etc. But it seems that programs like rz, sz, and even kermit can not be used because they don't look at the correct port to send/receive data. I currently uuencode files on a remote system then issue a local 'take' command. This is not as efficient as receiving a binary file (compressed) with a wonderful program like rz. Thanks for your help. Bob Munroe topix@utcs.utoronto.ca
