I've had problems very similar to what you describe with DesTerm 2.0 and SZ.
Usually, I get a Bad Block, and after 10 tries or so DesTerm quits with a 
Transfer Failed or some such message.  I have this theory that it is as a
result of control characters being filtered out by terminal servers.  I have
to go through at least two, and maybe three (I really don't know), terminal
servers to get to the Unix system here.  It's crazy.  At any rate, I did my
best to convince two of the terminal servers to pass all control characters
unscathed, but I still got errors.  The only protocol I've gotten to work
over this line is Kermit.  Which is, of course, a 7-bit protocol.

Oh well.
