Technically it is possible to use filestranmission programs like sz/rz
(Z-Modem) over an 8bit clean telnet link (which telnet should be by
default).  I think I got this working as an exercise a few years ago but
it's all a bit hazy.

Consider ssh if you can.  It provides you with better security and privacy
for your shell logins.  It also comes with standard tool for secure file
tranfer (scp, sftp), and a steak knife set.
