Hmm.. My XC has Baskspace on delete....
You have to start sz with the -rr option to do crash recovery
(Also.. you *HAVE* to compile SZ/RZ with the new GCC 2.2.2 to get
it to do the crash recouvery properly.. Otherwise it will
start from wierd places and do all sorts of other nastys..

Just type ESC and return.. Works for me.. Yes.. Pcomm messes up the
stty settings.. just type STTy sane afterwards..
I found that Pcomm was a little kludgy and crashed quite more often
than XC
If *SOMONE* could post a *GOOD* port of Minicom (One that works) we
might just have a good Comms package..
