Any suggestions? I was having the same problems. You have to check with the administrator (not the docs) of the Unix system to make sure what the correct settings are: data bits, stop bits, parity, handshake, etc. Also, I was informed that before I connect to my Unix, there is a command "terminal download" that must be entered onto the server before logging on so that the server will not interfere. As for uploading binary data, type rz -b to assure the upload will be binary. Everything works great for me now! Hope this helps. --Willi
