The version of rz/sz I have doesn't appear to support being
called from within a communications program. I imagine some comm
programs, such as ecu and xc, might support ZMODEM, and I think
the ecu and xc custodians hang out here. Also, since this is
really a SCO UNIX question, I'm crossposting this to
biz.sco.general and to comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit and sending the
followups there too.

What I do is to use cu to connect to the remote site, log in, etc., then
issue a sz filename or rz filename, then at my local end type
oh,oh! just realised if I type that I'll be in strife... what you have
to type is:

~ +rz filename or ~ +sz filename

but without the space between ~ and +.

On SCO UNIX ( NOT XENIX ), when you cu to a site, you can use rz/sz.
this is the trick
on the remote system type sz file file file etc.
then type ~+rz (Note that is a plus symbol).
this will take files off the remote & send it to the local.

vice-versa to send files type on the repmote computer rz
then while you are still on the remote type ~+sz file file etc.

Works Great ( I hate UUCP )

This doesn't work with more recent versions of rz/sz which open /dev/tty
directly hence won't talk to the remote system.
