	I run zmodem with E71 a bunch and it seems to work perfectly.  I
use the unix program sz and rz (which are by Omen, I think I got them at
nasa.ames) and Telemate 2.00  Since everyone is talking about their
favorite terminal packages, I would like to put in a plug for Telemate.
It is simply the best I've ever used.  I tried telix, qmodem 4, procomm,
bt-powercomm, and professional Yamm.  None of these comes close to what
Telemate does.  Qmodem was real nice, but since zmodem wasn't built in
it was a pain. 
	All of telemate multi-tasks.  It has a built in editor, file
viewer, and on line help.  It makes good use of the mouse, and the
keyboard controls make sense.  Since it all multi-tasks, you can edit or
view a file while downloading or uploading (this is really handy).  It
emulates a VT102 terminal, and I've had no problems running vi or any
other unix stuff with 'set term=vt100'  In addition it supports a slew
of protocols (with space for your own), and supports 25-50 line modes,
with many in between (I've never seen anything like it, 32 lines on
CGA).  There is a scipt langauge too that I haven't even started to play
with (it comes with a bunch of examples, including a host mode script).
	Telemate is the nicest piece of Shareware I've ever used or seen
(next to Fractint)...
