The ZMODEM protocol is available in source code for Unix and VAX. Using this
on the host and the DSZ (MS-DOS ZMODEM) as an external protocol to Procomm
will do wonders for your transfers (faster, error recovery, crash recovery,
more resilient to garbage, your parents will actually _like_ the next girl
you bring home, etc). In alll seriousness, we use Procomm to u/l and d/l to
Unix and VMS hosts. The file your looking for is something like rzsz0303 and
includes a _pre-compiled_ version for the VAX!
