The problem turned out to be a networking problem. The zmodem package was installed on one of the Sun servers which I access all day long at work. Unfortunately, remote access from my house goes through a different machine which is not a Sun. This meant rlogging into my W/S to access the zmodem package. Apparently the two programs don't talk when there is an intermediate rlogin or telnet to another machine (probably obvious to some, but not immediately to me). Anyhow, I copied the package to the gateway server, recompiled them package, and voila! Perfect 228 char/sec performance with zmodem (I have never been so happy). Much thanks to those that e-mailed me with suggestions.
