[comp.sys.misc] Windowing Protocols

7GMADISO@POMONA.BITNET (02/17/88)

Sorry to burst a bubble, but I've NEVER, EVER seen SeaLink on any BBS
OR pay service; WXmodem, on the other hand, is the preferred protocol
for American PeopleLink, and is included in the newer releases of
ProComm and Qmodem for the Mess-DOS world; I too, would LOVE to see
some Z-80 ASM or C source code for WXmodem.

You've never called an Opus?  Or a Fido with SEAdog front-end?  Those are
the two most common bulletin boards in the world!  PC-Host also supports
SEAlink.

I've never used PeopleLink.  But I thought I heard somewhere that GEnie
uses SEAlink (along with quite a few others).  The new Procomm does support
SEAlink.

Actually, for the best throughput, I'd suggest Zmodem, but it's tough to
implement (but if you want 95-98% throughput on the average, it's highly
recommended.. :-)
