I found an interesting variation at http://chrio.org/serial/ ,
this fellow uses the stripping and insertion of CTRL/Z to
his advantage!  He split his binary into sections deliniated
by any CTRL/Zs in the file, then sent those other pieces 
across (checking file sizes by hand and retrying if they
didn't match), then using COPYto rejoin the pieces in a
way to re-insert the CTRL/Z.  As always, there's more than
one way to skin the cat.
