I can confirm this behavior as well.  We have a public-access cluster of
Linux boxes connected to a network with three Netblazer ST's.  We find that
when using rlogin from the netblazers, zmodem fails and pine puts garbage
all over the screen.  If we use telnet from the netblazers, everything
works.  Note also that using rlogin to another architecture (IBM or Sun)
works fine -- pine behaves, and zmodem works.  

We're puzzled as well... It's confusing a lot of our users.

You have to use "rlogin -8" to make rlogin 8-bit-clean. Otherwise rlogin
will eat parts of the character set.

Try "rlogin -8 -noesc".  The "-8" is necessary to get an eight-bit transparent
connection.  The "-noesc" tells the NetBlazer to ignore the session escape
sequence (default ^]<cr>) which would otherwise suspend the rlogin session
and return to the NetBlazer command prompt.  This is necessary to prevent
failure of file transfers that just happen to contain the escape characters
in the data.

Otherwise you could try "telnet -8 -noesc".  The "-8" option to the NetBlazer
telnet client passes eight bits but does *not* negotiate Telnet binary mode
like the "-b" option does.  The problem with using "-b" is that most Unix
hosts will set the pty to raw mode so you don't get the usual <cr> to <lf>
mapping.  If you do use "-b", you will probably have to give a "stty sane<lf>".

I haven't tried any of this with Linux yet, as I only just installed Linux
on my home system last night.

Cheers,
Eric

These look like modem connect messages:
0 = OK 
13 = CONNECT xxxx  (where xxxx is whatever your modem result code 13 is)

Sounds to me like the rlogin on the linux is broken.
