It was thus said that the Great Fred Cisin once stated:
any reason to not use a Ward Christensen protocol program?
(XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM, etc.)
Unless he can't get an 8-bit clean data path, these can't be used (which
sucked when I was in college because the path between the dialup modems and
the computer systems I needed to communicate with was *not* 8-bit clean,
even though *in theory* you could set the path as 8-bit clean, which never
worked for me, so I ended up having to use Kermit *a lot* to transfer files
from home).
