Also from another shell, not the one running on /t3.  And since I had a shell 
on /t2, with a minicom session to it, I tried it right from this chair, and it 
worked although I should set that session of minicom up for 19200 too.  And 
that still works.  Do we have a 38400? :)

And you really do want to show just how slow rz/sz is. :)  Even on my machine, 
about 7300 baud is all it can muster. 6809 based machines, around 4500 baud.

Yeah, rz/sz can move a file while someone is sawing the cable in two with a 
dull hacksaw.  But its error checking is a speed killer.  If this is as good 
as you claim, I should be able to use ymodem error free at 56k.  But it is too 
late & I could feel better.  The missus went out to get a nanner split, and I 
sent her to a place I knew had sugar free ice cream,  said get me a small 
cone, but she bought back a pint!  And I was dumb enough to eat it all, I mean 
its sugar free right?  Damn that sugar alcohol is hell on ones innards.  I 
won't do that again real soon.
