Cu leaves it's receive process alive, eating some to most of data
(like acks or data frames) coming to your system.  Since both cu
and rz/sz/whatever will both have reads up at various instants,
some incoming data goes to cu, some to the xfer program.  This is,
of course, not good.

My advice is to forget cu and try ecu or pcomm.
