Yea, i did that after i tried sz and rz for 3 days with tip with
no success even with ~C, and i tried kermit, it gives this message
about 2400 baud!!! but i solve it by enabling afew options
like MNP and auto speed-match, and it gives me connect at 14400

However, i still can't download files from office to home,
and even kermit hang after about 10K+ bytes, and complain
something about the buffer being full:-( or something active?

I would download to floppy if the XFree86 file name is not
so long:-(, i would like something like bin01 and src01 and
etc01, it is download to dos floppy that way, but not XFree,
i think it is more feasible to download from modem, but
for the life of me, i still can't figure out how
/dev/com0 fit into all this? how to add this information
into CONFIG? i tip into com1 which is suppose to be my com2:-(
Very illogical but that works.
i have recompiled sz rz and also tipp but still no light.?

I would really like to find out how many of us here
downloaded everything thro modem and how they did it.
with 386BSD at the local end.
