Ok, I hate Kermit too, so I downloaded rzsz.tar.Z from wuarchive (i think)
and played with it for a while. Well, I got rz to work, and this was
all I was really interested in. See, the thing is that rz and sz expect
to have (the equivalent of) /dev/tty6[45] as their controlling tty. Which,
if you're connected through Kermit, is not the case.
Well, anyway, I changed the line that's almost all the way to the end
of the distributed rbsb.c that says
Tty=open ("/dev/tty",2);
to /dev/tty65 and then did a gcc -DSV -o rz rz.c (because make barfed
all over the distributed makefile, I've no idea why, and didn't have
time to mess with it.)
So now what I do is dial in with Kermit, call the sz from the other side,
switch to another virtcons, and call rz. There's no status checking,
or anything else nice like that, but hey, we're hackers, right?
Sz doesn't work as nicely. I'll look at it when I have time. I expect
that it's a matter of figuring out the -Defines.
