Probably. x/y/zmodem need an 8-bit data path that doesn't suck off control characters, which is rather difficult to get unless you call a modem connected directly to your unix box. Terminal servers often get in the way of non-kermit file transfers, but some of them have commands to use 8 bits and pass all data transparently.
