Hate to jump in on a sub-reply, but I already had deleted the original,
sorry.  But something just struck me as odd.

That attempted command makes no sense to me.  Zmodem sends things -over-
the terminal, and you just told it to send the file to /dev/null.
*scratches head*  The client should never see anything to pick up.  Not
sure what the -z does, as the version on this Solaris box doesn't have that
flag, but anything that sends all stdout/stderr to /dev/null -should- make
zmodem patently useless.

What about getting the cursor to a particular location, SYSTEMing the
command, then doing a SHOW over the top of that to get rid of the
initialisation trigger string?
