If you can find a way to get the first file onto it, I can help from
there....  You can get a version of zmodem which should compile w/o too
much trouble at ftp://globegate.utm.edu/pub/zmodem.tar.gz (that's the
sources).  I've had a little bit of trouble between it and my 7100 running
MkLinux (same program) with zmodem protocol (sz, rz), but ymodem (sb, rb)
works fine, and zmodem works in one direction....  (Probably the same
reason that PB145 has so much trouble with PPP, can't work with a modem,
terrible overruns through the 7100 as a gateway.)
