-a terminal program and file transfer protocall.  Can't believe how fast
-it is!  And the feature of being able to pick up where you left off when
-you drop the carrier 250K of the way into downloading a 260K file really
-appeals to me.

The standard procedure given in DSZ.DOC for operating DSZ standalone
disables DSZ's carrier check (so you can tell the modem to dial out).

If DSZ is on the correct port and still reports "No Carrier Detect",
chances are the carrier detect pin on your cable is broken or missing.
