We have a Cisco terminal server here which uses Telnet connections to connect to the hosts on this network. I dial in, enter the command "term download", which presumably puts Telnet into 8 bit mode, then connect to a host, and start Zmodem transfers. Incidently, if you can dial out through modems using tip, I wrote a program a while back which puts tip into binary transparent mode so you can dial up a system, dial out to another system, go into "passthru" mode, and start up Zmodem at the two far ends :-). It uses a Hayes modem like escape sequence to go back to normal tip operation. It's called "passthru", and I posted it on alt.sources about a month or so ago. BTW, it uses STREAMS. I'm kinda new to Unix programming, so I didn't know a lot of Unixs didn't have STREAMS (termios ioctls) interfaces. Works great on SunOS 4.x.x and up though. (I am considering recoding it to use either sgtty and/or termio, so it's more compatible...).
