I just compiled rzsz9202 from sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/apps/comm, and
got it to work fine by changing a line that read 'open("/dev/tty" ...' to
open /dev/ttys1 instead (the line should be in rbsb.c, but I'd grep
all of the c stuff for /dev/tty to be sure). Now I can just ctrl-z out
of kermit and type "rz" and everything's happy as a clam.
Btw, there are some rzsz patches in /pub/Linux/apps/comm, but I haven't
looked to see what they patch. Those may be the same ones referred to
above.
