Hello Pascal - 

CA>> I haven't tried to use the standard telnet, exit to a

CA>> doable or is extremely awkward? 

PS> I have no idea about how the sz and rz programs work and
PS> what kinds of connections they can use. telnet could

PS> socket it uses for the connection, for example, but I don't
PS> know whether it does that. Somebody would have to try. 

CA>> If the standard telnet was sufficient why would anyone

PS> No need for external sz/rz program would be one reason, and
PS> it's easier to use if you don't have to start the programs

The Linux ztelnet I have does require me to 'break' to a
simulated CLI and type in 'sz' or 'rz' but it's OK. I've had
even more primitive com programs over the years. :-)
