Although Zmodem's protocol overhead is smaller than Kermit's, Kermit's efficentcy can be boosted a LONG way by including the following lines in your .kermrc file: set receive packet-length 1024 set send packet-length 1024 (`kermit -e 1024` does the same thing, I think) This assumes, of course, that the kermit on the other end can also speak "extended-length packets" (most newwer ones can.) The default is something disgustingly small (94), set back in the days when you were not sure you could get even 100 bytes over a phone line without dropping a bit or two. /PJ __o -\<, ......O/ O SofPJF@VM.UoGuelph.Ca
