I use AZcomm (available from most BBSes, and archives, including
kilowatt) for Zmodem transfers without any problem at all. Talking with
people on BBSes, Online has had a few bugs in their Zmodem that may or
may not have been fixed. Also, MSS has issued upgrades at times without
bumping the revision number, so it's difficult to tell what you've got.

AZcomm doesn't have any fancy features, but the Zmodem is bulletproof,
and works fine at 9600/19,200 BPS. A lot of programs choke at high
speeds.
