IMHO, zmodem over telnet is a can of worms. The closest I have ever
come to doing this in DOS is with tcpport + conex (int 14). Downloads
work, but uploads generally fail. I have found that Kermit is better,
and ftp is best. Many hours of frustration only confirmed what I was
told years ago.

Now I quite happily use zmodem with my local dialup BBS and ftp with
an Internet (telnetable) BBS (running BBBS).

I have used mt.exe with wattcp.cfg, but prefer NCSA (or CUTCP) Telnet.
