The protocol involves you sending something first.  You actually
just need to do a zmodem sequence, you don't actually need to send
me that dummy PKT.  However, I don't know if there is a way of
getting Telix to do a dummy Zmodem send.  Zmodem consists of a
startup sequence, a series of files, then the termination.  You
don't need the series of files.  My system is happy without it.
Or rather the protocol doesn't require it.  BFN.  Paul.
