Under minicom, I have defined rz & sz in setup-protocols, with full pathname
so that when i want to upload/download, I type the command at the host: sz (eg)
and escape back to minicom to start the download (eg) (CTRL-A, d).  This pops
up a window, calls rz and feeds it all that it requires.  I never have to 
manually enter rz or sz at my minicom end (like you do with xcomm).

Has anyone had success with continuing a z-modem download under Linux.  It 
never seems to work for me.  Even when I use sz -r (filename) it still starts
from the begining of the file.
