I know of this problem and will fix it. It is actually sending an ascii 0.

I fixed that bug. What version of Z-Link are you using? The last version I
posted survived all 80-column tests made by vttest. 132 column stuff doesn't
act right, but Z-Link won't bomb (as others are claimed to do).

I am glad to hear that Z-Link holds out at 19,200. I had no way of testing
it at that speed.
