telnet isn't 100% transparent like a "raw" connection. it has a handshake protocol to determine things like whether to echo keyboard input back, a way to report when the terminal window is resized, features to do stuff "out of bounds" like kill the currently running program, etc.

it's likely the zmodem transfer is filled with what the client thinks are
telnet commands.
