What you want to do is the following: Once you've typed sz filename on the one machine, pause tip (~^Z), and then: # rz < /dev/comx > /dev/comx where x is the com port you're using. Just fg back into tip when you're done the transfer. Quite often, sz will hang---I've found that using sz -bw 2048 filenames works well in these cases.... Don't be afraid to ask quetstions--The group is so named for a reason. Toodlepip!
