Apart from the other suggestions done on the net,,
- try ptest.sh, which is shipped with zmodem, to test if your Unix side is
ok;
- be sure that you are directly connected to your Sun, not via remote
logins etc., otherwise connect to the server or whatever machine is
directly connected to the phone;
- I encountered problems when the baud rate at the Unix side was too high
(check with stty, set it with "stty 2400" -- here, 9600 baud works with a 2400
baud modem, but a higher rate didn't);
- make sure that you have defined an appropriate receive folder with zterm
- if you are connected via a telnet box to the Sun, make sure that
   a) Escape Ctrls is checked in Zterm
   b) transparency is "on" for telnet;
- don't despair, it wil work, someday.
