Hmm, maybe you want to try expect? I've never tried it with rz/sz,
but expect acts really well with a lot of other programs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/expect
set fd [open /dev/cuaa1 r+]
stty -f /dev/cuaa1 38400 raw
spawn -open $fd
... do login stuff ...

exec rz
exit 0
