I've personally had more luck with Kermit.  It's scriptable, it's it's
flexible, and has a better protocol.  (Don't let anybody tell you that
Kermit is necessarily slow; it's faster than ZModem after you
configure it right, and more reliable.  Check out
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ for info!)

Best,
