From tsfaq13.arc (soon to be released).  (It shouldn't be overly
different between two Unixes).

 Q: How to make z-modem transfer between a Unix mainframe and my PC?

 A: You naturally need the z-modem programs both for your Unix host
and your PC. If you don't have them, they can be found in the
/pc/pd2 and /unix/ts directories at uwasa.fi archives. The
/unix/ts/0dir-u file explains how to unpack the Unix facilities.
Unpacking the PC facilities is standard knowledge, so no more about
that.
   To the the transfers going at the PC end of things you'll find
useful the information that is contained in /pc/pd2/zdoc0108.zip,
/pc/ts/tskerm24.arc (zset.cmd in particular), and also
/pc/ts/tspfon29.arc (pcpqa.txt in there). These latter two packages
concern primarily MsKermit and Procomm, but the z-modem ideas in
them are general.
   At the Unix end of things you invoke a binary transfer using
     sz -bey YourFile
     rz -bey
 and an ascii transfer by using
     sz -aey YourFile
     rz -aey
Note that I have experimented with this only on a BSD Unix Sun 4.
