only on the i386. there are more problems for big endian machines.
i will post diffs when i have some reliable software running.

i also took the approach of porting it to termios.

the problems i'm seeing are off_t related. the zmodem protocol itself
cannot deal with 64bit offsets, and i don't know enough about it to
repair the software, in order to 'talk' 32bit offsets and handle 64bit
ones interally.

the NetBSD box is an hp300. the test case i've been using for talking to
it is an Amiga running AmigaDOS and JR-Comm. (you'll find no intel boxen
anywhere near me, no.)
