Remember the xc alternative to minicom I posted about yesterday, with a download URL? With that package you can let the comm program handle the complicated details. The README.linux file in that package lists, among other great features: * internal xmodem, xmodem-1k, xmodem-g, ymodem, ymodem-g, cis-b+ * external zmodem with support for auto-download ZMODEM. * improved recognition and triggering of auto zmodem downloads. ... [other great features, including a high level of configurability] * optional mapping DOS line graphics to vt102 graphic sequences. And not listed in the feature set, but important here, is the fact that it is more line and text oriented, and includes detailed text mode help screens, without line drawing characters. Oh, and the maintainer says: "The Salz/Turner editline library is included, as is the rz/sz package." Elsewhere he says a certain version of rzsz included with debian was broken (probably ok now?). And the QUICK.START says: 7) here's the quick tour: XC is very command line driven. It has 3 basic modes: a) main command line at the prompt. all settings of options and file transfer initiation take place here. b) dialing directory mode can dial from a pick list or dial manually. c) ordinary terminal mode. when you are on-line with another system.
