It's not the memory requirements that stop them dead in the tracks,
it's the concurrent I/O requirement.  Zmodem provides a mechanism
for dealing with this, and you might see something along these lines
in the future.  Of course, without concurrent I/O, you won't get
all of the high throughput ZMODEM is famous for.
