>Zmodem is available on Checkmate's ProTERM package.
Well, I'm not sure if you can call the "Zmodem" that is available on ProTERM
as a "real" Zmodem. It may be called "Zmodem"... but from my experience and
what I recall of a major discussion about it a year or so ago, is that it is
more like a modified "Ymodem" than anything else.
BTW, you can call most WWIV (World War IV) BBS's; they offer Zmodem. You CAN
download and upload with Checkmate's Zmodem and it works. It doesn't seem to
be an improvement over Y-modem batch, however; and you can't call back and
continue downloading if an error has occurred; like a true "Zmodem" should be
able to handle.
