I can't seem to get the resume option to work in zmodem.  I've tried it on 
both version 1.36 and 3.03.  (Tested via a back to back connection across
the serial ports on a SUN SLC (sparc)  running 4.1.0.

test:
Tip'd to both ports. On one I ran "rz" (in /tmp), on the other 
"sz bigfile".  I let it run for a while, then killed both rz and sz.
(Leaving a partially transmitted bigfile in /tmp).

restart rz.  start sz with "sz -r bigfile"

results:
on 1.36 it truncates the partial bigfile and resends the whole thing.
on 3.03 it causes both the rz and sz to exit without transferring anything.

Anybody had any experience with sz -r ???

thanks,
charles
