Has anyone managed to transfer files with ST-Minix' rz/sz programs?

If so, what is the magic encantation?  I have tried every combination of
commands/sequences I can think of.  A quick glance of the sources offers 
no obvious clues.

I am running ST-1.5.10.3 with tty.h's NR_CONS set to 1 (stterm would not 
work when set to 2).  

One attempt leads to a "login:" loop (also, the TX light on my modem shows
solid data being transmitted...?).  To get into the loop, I "stty 19200 8",
then "stterm".  Next I establish a connection to a Sun.  [I don't think it
matters if I start "sz" on the Sun.]  Then, I escape and issue the "rz" 
command exactly as indicated in the manual.  Now comes the loop.  I hope I 
didn't forget something in my problem description; human memory has no
parity bits or checksums... :^)

I have successfully transfered a file from a SparcStation1 using the native
ST-TOS and the STalker desk accessory (beta version), so I have to assume
my problem is either in Minix or my usage of it...  sigh.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
