Use version 2.x or below of rzsz. Versions 3.x can be patched to work
as a local program, if you also feel like paying Chuck Forsberg his
shareware fee (which, admittedly, is low).
Somebody else posted a shell script to run rz with the correct tty
device. Far better to do it in .kermrc, like this:
define rz !rz \%1 \%2 \%3 \%4 \%4 \%5 \%6 \%7 \%8 \%9 < \v(line) > \v(line)
define sz !sz \%1 \%2 \%3 \%4 \%4 \%5 \%6 \%7 \%8 \%9 < \v(line) > \v(line)
This allows you to simply type the obvious 'rz' at the Kermit command
line, just as you would at the remote's shell prompt.
(I use this on Xenix. It's not [yet] tested under Linux; I don't have
a spare machine. Soon, soon...)
