  The PD specification of ZMODEM (the one developed under contract for
Telenet) does not support 7bit transfers.  And, while it may now be
supported in the ZMODEM-90 extension, that is proprietary and has a very
prohibitive licensing policy.  So, I doubt that this will be forthcoming
in any product not produced by Omen Technology directly.
