I know about rz and sz and that they are not >callable from within tip or cu. Well, the tilde escape C on the SunOS tip has always worked for me. So you just use tip normally until you start a transmit/recieve program on the other host (BBS) and then simply ~C and enter your rz/sz command line. Works like a charm, though the performance of the tty driver on SunOS 4.1.1 is rather bad with any load (even a 19.2k modem tends to choke). -- /* * * Otto J.
