I seem to recall someone on FreeBSD was looking for an old & therefore free version of zmodem ? (as opposed to the modern shareware version). (perhaps so that FreeBSD could have freeware & shareware versions, like we have multiple ghostscript ports wrappers ?). Well here's an extract of interest -------- > From: eyal <eyal@eyal.emu.id.au> > To: pc532@bungi.com > Subject: download vs zmodem > Date: Tue, 15 Oct 1996 22:03:15 +1000 > > Now that I have NetBSD 1.2 running > ...... > I grabbed zmodem from minix (1.5), removed the "-D_MINIX_ > -D_POSIX_SOURCE" and > it built just fine.
