One thing to watch for is the possibility of the Unix system running Zmodem-90,
the latest available from Chuck Forsberg.  This version is claimed to be
compatible with Chuck's utilities (DSZ, etc), and may not work with XPRzmodem. 
In fact, there have been several reports to the VMS newsgroup that the newest
Zmodem for it will not work with XPRzmodem.  Also annoying is the fact that the
VMS Zmodem-90 implementation no longer comes with sources :-(
