And what a lot of sysops don't know that ZModem is one of the worst protocols
to use over telnet because its timing is designed for POTS, not Internet.
However, it was the most plentiful, so therefore, it proliferated even more.
I will say that using CEXYZ/2 under OS/2 (which is 32 bit) does make a bit of a
difference and I have a lot less problems with lost packets than I do under
Windows using mTel. I don't know about "straight" DOS, but I'd imagine that
there might be speed issues or protocol issues as Nancy rightfully pointed out
(and that doesn't suprise me that there is).
I only wish I knew more about protocols to help. I am pretty proficient at
Pascal, but I'm not as good as some of the people I know.
Also-are you still wanting me to try to get Kermit running under my system
again? Just wasn't sure if you did or not.
