        I have been using ZTerm 0.85 along with sz on the unix side on
and off for a while now to transfer files from a Sun workstation at work
to my Mac+ at home. My modem speed is 2400 (though I have the same problem
at 1200). The problem I am having is twofold.
        1) I have never been able to transfer multiple files successfully.
           The first file comes across OK but after that I lose every other
           file, or hang.
        2) When transfering a single file; once the file is complete, ZTerm
           indicates a successfull transfer... But there is frequently "junk"
           from the sz (unix) side that is left in the command line for the
           shell to interpret with the next command entered. In other words,
           it appears that ZTerm stops receiving before sz is totally finished
           and the remainder of the output from sz ends up on stdin for some
           reason.

        Am I doing something wrong or is this a known problem with ZTerm/sz?

        Do I need a different version of the UNIX side sz (if so, where do I
pick up sucha working version... I do have internet ftp access).

        Aside from all that, ZTerm seems to have trouble completing a partial
download. Also, exactly WHAT do I do with a "ZTerm binary file", the file
type created from a binary transfer of a NON-MACBINARY file?

        Thanks for any help I can get!
