Hello Dave -

Chuck Forsberg has made the source code and binaries available for
many OS at his server but the last so-called sysop I tried to
persuade to use it couldn't understand how to configure it and just
gave up.

I do use GSZ as my external zmodem when direct dialing BBS and doing
zmodem transfers (with Moby turned on). It works flawlessly. 

Omen Tech FDSZ is what I use for my telnet zmodem external protocol
(the "F" is for "fossil"). The receiving side seems to control the
settings so that when I am receiving I can tweak until it works. When
the other side is receiving and the sysop can't or won't adjust their
settings there is nothing I can do at my end to `fix' the problem. 8(
