SEXYZ is a protocol driver, not a new protocol. SEXYZ just implements the
standard X/Y/ZMODEM protocols, no different than DSZ, FDSZ, GSZ, sb/rb, etc.
ZMODEM may not have been designed for use over Telnet, but it works just fine
over Telnet (or Raw TCP, or SSH, or RLogin). Many of ZMODEM's features (error
detection, windowing) are redundant with TCP, but it has some other convenient
features (auto-start, resume) that YMODEM does not have, so its still
preferred.
