If you can find the source code to SZ/RZ, then you can run Zmodem to do your
binary transfers between your Amiga & Unix system.
All you'd have to do with the source code is to recompile it (unless you can
find already compiled binaries that will work on your version of Unix). SZ/RZ
might even be on the Unix system your calling. At your shell prompt, just
type SZ or RZ and see if it works.
