        Uhh, I uploaded a completely working version of minicom, along with a
port of the newest version of sz/rz (with zmodem recover, etc) to tsx-11. It's
sitting in /incoming and should be up in a few days. I guess I'll go throw a
copy up on banjo in /pun/Linux/Incoming as well after I catch up news. Look
for it in a couple hours :-)
