Hey, gang, I have something I can't figure out.  I have an OSK machine- a
System 5, and have been attempting to use "rz", from a shell started under
Sterm.  I first attempted to d/l from my local BBS, and would get Timeout
errors.  I could use "rz" under my coco on this BBS.  The timeouts would come
rapidly, one every second, maybe.  All it would do was get the header and the
timeouts would begin.

Thinking it might be some quirk with the BBS I tried to dl from Delphi.  Here I
could get the file but would get a tremendous amt of Timeouts, and other
errors, even with error correction.

Now, my setup is a 2400 baud modem (Hayes Optima).  /t2 was set at 9600 baud.
On a hunch, I dropped /t2 back to 4800 and went to Delphi, good error-free d/l.
Went to the BBS and a good d/l.

Now I wonder why?  Does it have to do with the modem? Does this mean that "rz"
wouldn't work with a 14.4K modem at high speed?  Is the timeout being garbled
here or what?  Although not documented, I tried a "-t " option on the
command line, but though seemingly changing the timeout time, it still didn't
help on the errors.
