There's not much in the way of telnet clients with download capabilities
in DOS. Kermit is probably the most full-featured but as far as I know
the only download protocol it has is kermit.
It's possible to use good ole terminal programs (Procomm Plus, Qmodem,
Telix, Commo, et al) as telnet clients when used with certain utilities.
Net14 from the NCSA Telnet package and tcpport from the WATTCP apps
archive. Takes some work though.
Conex is both a terminal and telnet app ready to go with various network
protocols. This one includes Zmodem. I've used this one with tcpport
and I remember it working just fine.
IIRC the Bobcat packages included a batch file or two for use with Conex.
Conex is/should be available from SimTel in the directory the comm stuff is in.
Not having access to DOS anymore I can't consult my configs and notes.
The DOS graphics thing I don't know about.
