I'm having problems with the sz, rz (zmodem send/receive) programs from the rzsz9002 package. I'm trying to transfer files from our Sun to my pc at home. Configuration: I'm connected via a terminalserver to the Sun at 2400 baud. At my pc I'm using the buildin Telix Zmodem or the DSZ package (I've tried both). Commands used: sz x <filename> rz When I try to send a file from the Sun to the pc, only the first 1024 bytes arrive. After that, the PC reports Timeouts and I have to Abort the transfer. When I try to receive a file on the Sun from the pc, the pc program cannot even initiate the transfer. I can use Xmodem and Ymodem from the same package without any problems. Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong? -- Henk Fictorie, PTT Research Neher Labs, H_Fictorie@pttrnl.nl P.O. box 421, ...!hp4nl!dnlunx!henkf 2260 AK Leidschendam, The Netherlands Phone : +31 70 3326356

I used to experience similar problems with an identical configuration. What I finally got to work was to use the command: sz -w 1024 filename This seems to result in 512 byte packets being rather than 1024 byte packets. Performance only decreased slightly; I now get about 220 cps at 2400 baud, whereas zmodem should get 230 (with a clean phone line). Still beats the hell out of kermit.
