As an added bonus, IIRC it also displays IBM graphics characters by using
the double Hi-Res display (or was that another program?).  Also, while it
receives ZMODEM, I don't think it would send ZMODEM.  The original poster
was looking for something that runs under DOS 3.3, though.  I don't think
you're going to find anything that runs under DOS 3.3 and supports ZMODEM as
everybody had dumped DOS 3.3 and started using ProDOS long before ZMODEM
became widespread.

ProTERM sends and receives ZMODEM.  It's not a freebie, but at $20, it's a
hell of a lot cheaper now than when I bought it ten years ago.
