Hello,

Having a working pc532, I decided that my first priority is to get zmodem
and then arc to enable easy flow between the 532 and my AT.

I have both working now, zmodem will do about 600 chars/sec and does not
need the elaborate startup as kermit does. It is the standard 1.5 version.

arc is v521 which I used on all minix versions, to get it working I had
to use the -fwritable-strings option of gcc or it will core dump. 
I believe many programs overwrite strings, usualy when building temp file
names.

I can post the zmodem binaries and suggest that using those is much better
than moving the files with downloads via the disk.

BTW, any reason why speeds higher than 9600 should not be added to the
serial driver? (apart from compatibility with mainstream minix).
Also, I had problems when the two serial lines on one chips are used
at the same time - both hang often; I saw some discussion on the matter,
this note is just to say 'me too'.
