We used to use a version of ZModem called szmodem, I think "Super Z Modem".  You could while a transfer was going, chat or play tetris or another two player game.  Kind of cool to be able to do that while a transfer was going, as typically in those days, once you started a download if you were using DOS, thats it, your computer can't do anything else until you're done.
