We have the same problem here using a MicroVax running Ultrix 3.0. It'll hang
on sending files from ZTerm to the Ultrix host, but downloading from the host
has no problems (It's the fastest protocol I've found by far!). The error
message is something like "ZRPOS returns zero" and ZTerm will keep retrying.

I'm using ZTerm 0.85 and rz 3.00 dated 4-19-89.
Any clues?
