   I'm using seyon under 386BSD-0.1+pk0.2.4 and Zmodem 3.18 for Linux (rzsz9202.tar.Z)
   to transfer files between my local PC and a remote Sun.  Sending files from the
   Sun to the PC works fine, using sz on the Sun and the Zmodem autodetect feature of
   Seyon to initiate the transfer.  Sending files from the PC to the Sun doesn't work.
   I see some output in the Seyon terminal window to the effect that I should start rz
   at the remote end, and I can see some modem traffic happening every once in a while
   but no progress is made.

I'm running Seyon 2.03, and it only comes configured to auto-receive.
I have found Seyon 2.13, which may have changed, but I haven't even
had a chance to unpack it yet.  If you've gotten the most recent
version, and it's still not configured (look in .seyon/protocols), let
me know, and I can send you the files to set it up.  The way I have it
set up does type the rz for you to the remote host, but this may be
suppressed if you like.

Also, assuming you did set up the protocols file right, the other key
thing is to turn RTS/CTS control on.  The symptoms you describe
suggest you did manage to set up protocols reasonably, but don't have
the flow control turned on.

Seyon 2.03 (ab)uses SIGHUP's in the extreme, and is prone to crash.
Seyon 2.13 claims to have finally fixed this, but it looks as if it'll
need some hacking still.  But, other than that, it's a pretty nice utility.
