I think that the two issues are separate. Z/z packets can work provided
the transport layer is reliable (such as TCP).
As a separate problem we need to make the remote protocol's transport
layer more reliable :-) If the Z/z packet does prove unreliable then
the ``set remote X-packet disable'' command can be used.
