ANSITerm, Spectrum, and ProTERM all do 56k and can
send and receive using ZMODEM.  But for this functionality,
you have to BUY the software.

Otherwise, you must suffer slow Xmodem.  That's just the
way the ball bounces.  If Colorterm, Freeterm, or
Telcom were THAT good, they would also be commecial.
It is because they ARE NOT that good is why they are
free.
