some time ago, I posted a note here regarding a solution to the terminal
server problem, and it seemed to help several people --- if you have
the permissions needed to do so, you might try the following settings:

   1) use HARDWARE flow control on both ends --- Xon/Xoff causes headaches
      for Zmodem (and Ymodem, and Xmodem, and ......)

   2) also, one of the responses I got back then indicated that the 
      terminal server must be set for TERMINAL-TRANSPARENT and
      TERMINAL-DOWNLOAD (these are the defaults on our cisco terminal 
      server)

   3) here's one I found by trial/error --- on the UNIX end, seems you
      need to use rz -be (or -ae) specifically, and don't specify the
      filename --- let Zmodem take care of it.  not sure why these
      matter...if someone else has run into these, and knows why this is 
      the case, I'd love to hear it.

hope this helps....
