Hi there

I need to connect to a BBS and upload/download files using zmodem. This needs to be automated via a script as it will be running as a cron entry.

Connecting to the BBS is no problem, doing the automation via a Expect script is no problem either, the problem arises when calling the zmodem (sz/rz) bit, this fails to do anything and eventually it times out.

According to the rzsz zmodem software it needs a "clean" login, i.e. cu will not work. What alternatives do I have to cu or rzsz?
