This can be done with any public domain file transfer protocol program.  I have
the one that was posted to comp.sources.misc a while back called "rz, sz"..
This supports Zmodem.  I have kermit.

Umodem isn't built-in, it is called by the ATE software.  It resides in
/usr/bin/umodem.   

$ umodem<CR>
UMODEM Version 2.8a
UNIX-Based Remote File Transfer Facility

Usage:  
umodem -[rb!rt!sb!st][q][l][m][d][y][7] filename


rb <-- Receive Binary
rt <-- Receive Text
sb <-- Send Binary
st <-- Send Text
q  <-- Quiet mode
l  <-- (ell) Turn on LOG File Entries
m  <-- Allow file overwiting on receive
d  <-- Delete umodem.log File before starting
y  <-- Display file status (size) information only
7  <-- Enable 7-bit transfer mask

Umodem is the Xmodem protocol.

You just need the right software between the two... it shouldn't be 
that bad ;-)

Take care,
