XMODEM transfers while using 'script' (ptys)

Hi. I've noticed that you cannot use 'xmodem' or 'sx' or other XMODEM-type
file transfers if you are logging a transcript of your session with the
utility 'script'. 'script' uses pty's...when attempting XMODEM transfers,
all one gets is errors til XMODEM or the communication program aborts.

Given that I have XMODEM source code, is there a fix that will get it to
work while a pty is your controling terminal? Has anyone else found a fix?

Thanx.
