In general, rz/sz do not have the same functionality as registered DSZ. I
asked Chuck Forsberg (the author) about whether rz/sz had/would have 7 bit
support. This is his reply:

Subject: 7-bit ZMODEM

BIX will be implementing ZMODEM-90(Tm) for downloads.

The currently distributed rzsz does not support any ZMODEM-90(Tm) extensions
beyond RLE.  To get Unix rz and sz programs with ZMODEM-90, one installs
Unix Professional-YAM and that has hard links to rz and sz.
