The way I got Zmodem for A-Talk III to receive at 9600 baud directly
to a floppy disk is by buffering 16K worth of input data, and then 
make a single 16K write to the disk [Note: this is with A-Talk III,
rel. 1.0c, not the original release]. Feel free to pass this along to
whoever did rzsz for the Amiga.
