Re: Spectrum 2.2 telnet question...

[Tony Cianfaglione <ab616@chebucto.ns.ca>]

sz is the Unix command for 'send zmodem' and it is a server command to
send a file to the GS from the network.  The dialog box pops up and
everything seems ready to transfer just like the serial transfer occurs
except that it doesn't work.  The serial transfer does and the automatic
zmodem is selected, directories chosen, etc.

rz tells the network to 'receive zmodem' from the GS.  This should be no
different than a PC or Mac zmodem transfer via PPP and telnet.  We're
still trying.  :-)
