??????????

By redirecting it to the corresponding /dev/ttyp* device, if that's still working with telnet suspended that is. But since telnet does create pty's, I assume there's some way to make use of them.

Only a telnet server uses a pty, the telnet client just talks over a socket. But that's not too important, you can of course make zmodem run over any arbitrary filedescriptors. You just need a telnet client or ssh client that is smart enough to connect an external program for you. (in tip there was the ~C command, which was not compiled by default. A similar patch would be needed for telnet.)

It's definitely doable, I used to run zmodem over telnet many years ago, before ssh was around, but you will need to do some hacking on your telnet client.
