As the author of IComm, I tend to agree with your comment also. :-)
But please understand that I did put in a lot of effort and time too.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the many
people whom I've promised bug fixes in a "short" time, but has since been
overwhelmed by  accumulated work (due to IComm), finals and projects.
This will continue to be so for the next two weeks.  My cube is 
also now in the shop with a dead optical drive; I have an optical
only cube from B-land.

My released of IComm was definitely premature.

Try "make bsd".  You will probably get quite a bit of warning messages, but that doesn't matter.

Use it with tip and ~$ to pipe the rz/sz I/O.
Also, use the -1 option when using rz.
