I run rz/sz with no problem under minicom. When you execute either program,
they specify to now run the complement on your dialup connection. However,
this won't work for me, as no input seems to go over the data lines after
rz/sz is executed. So, what I do on my dialup is (sleep 10;sz -w 1024 *), and
then escape back to minicom and run the rz from the download menu.
Works fine for me with no problems.
