Can someone who is using rzsz between two Unix systems help me out?
I'm trying to sz from my local PC running FreeBSD and rz on a remote
Sun.  I'm using an rzsz port for Linux (zmodem-3.18) on both ends.

I can sz from the (remote) Sun and rz on the PC.  I'm using seyon on
the local PC side so I don't have to start rz manually since it's
handled automatically by seyon.  This works fine.

I can't get the opposite direction to work.  If I invoke sz from a shell
on the PC side I get:

  root(168)sz testfile < /dev/modem > /dev/modem
  **B00000000000000

on the local side, and:

  todd@flex1(148)rz
  rz ready. Type "sz file ..." to your modem program
  **B010000012f4ced

in my terminal session on the remote Sun, but no further progress is made.
I can't interrupt the sz process with CTRL-C; I have to kill it from another
shell.  I have to wait for the remote rz process to time out at which point
it prints:

  rz 3.17 10-30-91 finished.

I've talked with someone who is having the exact same problem between a
two Suns.  Anybody else experienced this problem?  Know of a workaround?
