Did you read the comments in lynx.cfg itself?  There are examples of downloader
configurations, including some for zmodem.  I use a slightly modified version
of the zmodem example, calling 'sz -b' instead of 'sz %s' so it will download
BINARIES.  The exact line from my lynx.cfg is:

DOWNLOADER:Use Zmodem to download to the local terminal:set %s 
%s;td=/tmp/Lsz$$;mkdir $td;ln -s $1 $td/"$2";sz -b $td/"$2";rm -r $td:TRUE

It works fine.  I use ProcommPlus, emulating vt220 with default downloading
protocol set to zmodem.  Running sz seems to download files fine automatically,
without having to type any commands manually on my PC.
I don't know about QL2.
