DOS 3.3 blows chunks, and I don't know of any decent comm program that works
under it.  ProTERM runs under ProDOS and supports X/Y/ZMODEM; start sz under
Linux (or whatever you're using) and ProTERM will start receiving
automagically.  AGATE is a free (as in beer, not as in speech IIRC) comm
program that implemented true ANSI graphics and (I think) ZMODEM, though
it's been so long since I used it that I don't recall if it auto-starts
ZMODEM transfers.
