Here at IU, we tried to implement Zmodem, but the project was abandoned because
of the fact that the VAX (VMS 4.5 or close :-) ) deals in 7 bits while z modem
is an 8 bit protocol.  If I am wrong, let me know (no flames!!!!) but I think
this is the reason it wouldn't work here.

Kermit does suck because it transfers at about 100 cps on a 2400b modem!
I get 220 with z modem.
