[article about problems with ZTerm]

Yeah, transfer problems are common with ZTerm. One is that some BBS software
won't work right with it. What happens is: user A uploads a file to the
BBS with ZTerm after compressing it with StuffIt. User B downloads the file,
and when he attempts to unstuff it, he gets a spectacular crash, complete
with twitching indian blankets. As a result, many BBS's will not allow
Zterm uploads.
