The fastest I've gotten an 030 cube to do zmodem reliably (no
errors) with IComm has been 9600 bps.  Others have gotten 19.2 with
few retries, but you can't be doing anything else at the same time.
38.4 is right out.
(The 030 certainly does not support hardware flow control, as
documented in about a hundred places, the least of which is the 'zs'
man page)
