This article is from a FAQ concerning SCO operating
systems. While some of the information may be applicable to any OS,
or any Unix or Linux OS, it may be specific to SCO Xenix, Open
This is an old article about SCO Unix and is only left here for historical purposes.
This is an ancient post with little relevance to modern systems. Yes, there are still people using modems, but very few, and most of those are home users, not businesses.
Some of the ftp sites listed in the Administrative FAQ (posted at the same time as this FAQ) should have versions that are compiled and known to work on SCO systems. See also tls025. If you want source, try The ZMODEM Developer's Collection. This program also handles X and Y modem transmission and reception.
Zmodem was designed by Chuck Forsberg of Omen Technology (https://www.omen.com/). Omen's Web site includes both freely available and commercial communications software.

I think a nerd is a person who uses the telephone to talk to other people about telephones. And a computer nerd therefore is somebody who uses a computer in order to use a computer. (Douglas Adams)
