Re: [microblaze-uclinux] bounce - compiling lrzsz

[Shamile Khan <shamile@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Just a followup. I wanted to let you know that I have gotten lrzsz to
work in both directions for PPC Linux. I just installed the lrz and lsz
binaries compiled from lrzsz package in /bin directory (after renaming
them rz and sz). I have tested them under hyperterminal (windows),
kermit (Linux) and minicom (Linux). The loads are also very fast when
the baudrate is set to 115200.

Thanks,
Shamile
