Preliminary tests indicate that this did indeed fix it, however there may
be still something to look into, Mr. Burroughs indicates that the Co-lo
is indeed running Linux, and I can testify that until we upgraded to 3.5
(We were on 3.3.1 previously) the stock rz/sz worked fine. I'm wondering
if there was some change in the port handling that could crop up in other
places? (Again, so far it is only with a modem dialing into a PM running
3.5, and then rlogin-ing into a box running linux (2.0.30 seems to be a
common denominator here as well) and then running sz.) Regardless though
the sz that is on the livingston site seems to be working for us, and I'll
let you know if it isn't.
