How much faster is Zmodem than, say, Ymodem Batch (which I
currently use because some BBS's give you a "log off after
download" option, which I find attractive). Since it costs
money to register, I'll have to analyze how much I'd save
in long distance or message unit fees.
I have a 2400 baud modem, in case that matters.

Without MNP, I usually get 236+cps which is about 95% efficiency. However, the best thing about Zmodem is that it is much more robust than Ymodem; it has dynamic packet sizing and can resume a transfer even if you lose connection.
