Here is what I do:
I grabbed the BSDI 'port' of rzsz and compiled it sans problem.
(this was obtained from ftp.uu.net in vendor/bsdi something)
I use cu at home. (tip flakes out on me these days for some reason)
I use the following to send from a (really damn lousy) Sun4 to
my machine at home:
sun# sz -bw 2048 {files]+
~^Z
mypc# rz < /dev/com0 > /dev/com0
To send files from my machine to the other machine:
sun# rz
~^Z
mypc# sz -bw 2048 {files}+ < /dev/com0 > /dev/com0
The sz's aren't as zippy as the rz's on my machine, but that
might very well be because Micronics is now shipping 8250s on their
486/66 Motherboads (GRRRRRRRR!)

C-X is the sort of official Zmodem terminator. I can kill the
rz's pretty easily with these, but not with C-C's.

I don't know of anybody who has managed to get these working
flawlessly. This stuff is notoriously bad.
Toodlepip!
