I doubt it. I tried the same procedure at first as you did and came to the
conclusion that the version of tip on the boot disk (to which the FAQ refers)
is not the same as the one in the src01 distribution. After applying all the
patches and rebuilding tip (it doesn't hurt), I have had success with the
following recipe:
- make an entry for for your host "foo" in /etc/remote
- type "tip foo" and log in
- type "sz -r -L 1024 -l 1024 your.file"
- type "~C" and then type "rz" in response to the prompt
I was able to get a transfer rate of about 800 cps using a 14.4K modem without
any special effort to tune things up.
