I'm using telnet and rlogin with sl/ip.  It might be worth your while
to look up pcomm.  I used it under A/UX's Console Emulator (when that
was all there was in the old 1.0 days ;) and it was pretty nice (if a 
little buggy), but it did provide Zmodem support.

/usr/local/bin.  sun-lamp has a /usr/local/sbin as well which might be
useful, as well.
