After Dan and Mark (thanks guys!) reassured me that I wasn't crazy for
wanting to do this, I did what I probably should've done first and went
to freshmeat and looked for a suitable program.

Although I still haven't found a *nix telnet client capable of doing
this, I did find the xssh package, which acts as a wrapper around your
existing ssh or telnet client and can then run your existing sz/rz
connecting them to the ssh/telnet session.  Initial testing seems to
show it working as advertised.
