I believe you have to use rlogin -8 to be able to download like this
with zmodem (and zmodem was always the most reliable and convenient, in
my opinion, because of the auto-start feature..  Even ProTERM, which is
what I continue to use as a terminal program at home, does auto-start zmodem)..

but it seems easiest to just download with lynx to the remote system (in
/tmp perhaps), then go there at the shell, and "sz" all of the files..
