Hello,
I'm writing to you regarding your bug report about sz. In this report
you wrote:
I tried to use your sz program and I got 50% usability. I can
download stuff from my athena account but I can't upload stuff
from my Mac to my account.
I know of no bugs in sz, and since you've established such a regular
pattern, I would guess that something is set up wrong between your Mac
and athena. In particular, the following parameters are very
important:
1. You must be at 8 data bits
2. You must use No parity
3. You must use 1 stop bit
This is my first guess at what the problem is. Please check these
things and let us know.
