I have found that with a 9600 baud modem, and connecting to my host
with telnet, I need to slow down the zmodem program.  I find that 

sz -w 2048

works fine with my modem.  This forces it to wait every 2048
characters for an "ACK" from the other end, and apparently avoids
overrunning the intermediate buffering capacity.

I might also note that merit now supports PPP and SLIP connections,
which are certainly more functional, if not more reliable, than a
single serial connection.
