timings... the internal timers may be more lax allowing for longer
transmission times before erroring out...

as far as Tiny's comment about multiple telnet hops, it makes sense because
telnet can be switched in modes so that things like zmodem will work...
that mode switch isn't transmitted up the line to the next telnet package
because the first one ate it when it reacted to it... remember, no one ever
expected to be tunneling file transfer protocols within telnet sessions...
that's why, from a command shell account, you always telneted and then
opened a separate sz or rz connection for your files... they weren't done
inside the telnet pipe...
