   My comment is: SEXPOTS does not interfere with ZMODEM (or any other type of)   
   file transfers. It's not a "no-no" as you put it. If you're having problems   
   with file transfers, it's some other component of your system: likely the   
   FOSSIL driver or other component not entering or supporting Telnet BINARY TX   
   mode in one direction or the other or not escaping/unescaping the Telnet IAC   
   character. SEXPOTS doesn't convert CR/LF or CR/NUL received via Telnet to CR   
   (or vice versa), so BINARY TX mode has no effect and SEXPOTS always escapes   
   IAC characters received from the serial/COM port/modem before sending to the   
   Telnet server (when in Telnet mode) and performs the opposite translation for   
   IAC characters received via Telnet.
