Yeah, I was hoping to get FDSZ working so I could have both Zmodem and
Ymodem-G over telnet.  I figured G was not as good because it does not have
error correction built in, but someone corrected me on that and said that
the tcp/ip error correction was to G just as the modem error correction is
over a modem connection.

I asked Nick to share his.

A bit of encouragement is always welcome.  :)
