 I don't have a solution to your problem but I do have some suggestions as
to what you could look into. I am using sz 3.11 02-26-91 from Omen Tech. and
on my Amiga I am using Atalk-III or Handshake. With these combinations I have
no problems downloading from our system. Check to see what version of sz is
on your system and if it is from Omen Technology. Just enter sz and it should
tell you.
