Hello, I am trying to use ZTerm and zmodem to transfer files between a Mac and a unix and I am not succeeding. I have a Mac SE at home and I dial in to the Sun 4 at work which is running SunOS 4.1. I have obtained from sumex-aim.stanford.edu both the ZTerm 0.85 for my Mac and zmodem for the unix. I connect to the Sun on a 2400 baud line. I have compiled the sz/rz programs by executing make bsd on the Sun. I give the "sz filename" command on the unix end; a status window starts on the mac indicating that at least something is going on. But then it sits there doing nothing. I finally have to cancel the whole thing. I would appreciate any suggestions about what I am doing wrong? Mihran Tuceryan tuceryan@cps.msu.edu

I had the exact same setup, and could not get it to work either. That was the only solution I could think of. Kevin -- klussier@rodan.acs.syr.edu | 'Look! Up in the sky.

This is a common problem. Make sure to avoid the telnet process as well since apparently there are some escape characters that gum things up. chrism@col.hp.com

Apart from the other suggestions done on the net,, - try ptest.sh, which is shipped with zmodem, to test if your Unix side is ok; - be sure that you are directly connected to your Sun, not via remote logins etc., otherwise connect to the server or whatever machine is directly connected to the phone; - I encountered problems when the baud rate at the Unix side was too high (check with stty, set it with "stty 2400" -- here, 9600 baud works with a 2400 baud modem, but a higher rate didn't); - make sure that you have defined an appropriate receive folder with zterm - if you are connected via a telnet box to the Sun, make sure that a) Escape Ctrls is checked in Zterm b) transparency is "on" for telnet; - don't despair, it wil work, someday. -- Kees Huizing - Eindhoven Univ of Techn - Dept Math & Comp Sc - The Netherlands DOMAIN: wsinkees@win.tue.nl BITNET: wsdckeesh@heitue5 FAX: +31-40-436685
