I've been trying to do this with minicom and have gotten files to start downloading but only the first part of the file downloads. I don't think you can use "sz" though, because I don't think braillelite supports zmodem (correct me if I'm wrong). I've been trying it mostly with ymodem; haven't had any success at all so far with "rb" and "sb" and that's why I've been trying it with minicom. I also would appreciate any additional information anybody has on this, and will let you know if I finally succeed totally with minicom or otherwise. -- Cheryl
