I guess the title says it all, I get this error whenever I download
using rz/sz, and I got it while online (reading a short text file)
I'm running a 2400/v.42 modem (with MNP-5) to a Trailblazer, so compression
-is- on (I think).
No special UARTS, I just open /dev/com1 at 9600 baud and use the
rts/cts handshaking - perhaps I don't have that set, could that be the error?

Also, how do I set up a SCSI tape to work?  I have a tandberg tdc3800 on SCSI
ID 1 (LUN 0) and when I read or write to /dev/as1a, it gives me a few errors,
although I was successful in reading a tar file written under MS-DOS's port
of gnutar.  The errors are:

as: scsi controller error 0x12 writing fsblk xxxx-yyyy
SCSI sense: 00 00 00 .. 00

I'm using an adaptec-1542b.
Tnx.
