The program ZMDM (now in version 1.6) by Bammi and coworkers at Case WRU
supports Y and Zmodem.  Although I have UniTerm and think that it is a
great program, because of its size and complexity I use it only when I
need the graphics support.  The new version of ZMDM has the feature that
you can install it as an application and run it by just clicking on a
small file containing a phone directory.  I have been using ZMDM for
years and find it virtually bulletproof (I had to make a minor hack to
get it to support pulse dialing, but that is my only problem).  It is
not a GEM application, so you can run it from a shell too.
