Holy moley!
I just tried the new version of NComm, and boy, am I amazed! It has
built in XPR transmission protocals and are they fast! I downloaded
off of a 19.2k direct connect fiber-optic network with both JRCOMM1.01 and
Ncomm1.92 to see which was faster. To my amazment Ncomm transferred
around 1850 cps whereas jrcomm hit around 1550 cps. I didn't believe my
results so I downloaded another 300k file to test again. Sure enough, it
peaked out at 1850 again! I didn't believe it again, so I figured out the CPS
via my calculator. Te average CPS over the entire transfer was
jrcomm1.01 1565 CPS and ncomm1.92 1849!
How can an external packet/library format such as XPR beat an inline
optimized zmodem code that jrcomm has?

BTW, Ncomm1.92 has added the rest of the Zmodem flags so it's usuable now.

Silly me. Forgot to turn off my escape ctrl characters. I did my download
testing on my new account on a Mac II (a system on our network that doesnt
need escape expansion). Ncomm1.92 doesn't have escape ctrl chars so
I totall forgot about it.
Well anyway, Jrcomm1.01 is still the fastest zmodem program. Downloading
a couple big files produced an average CPS of 1850-1860, which is right
in line with Ncomm.
I'm still wondering though, how an external protocal could be so fast!

Where is NCOMM 1.92 available? Also along this vein, is there a way
to select batch uploads on NCOMM 1.9? I've tried and tried everything
I know to selevt more than one file, to no avail....If there is no way,
is it fixed in 1.92? I like the scripts, but if JRCOMM add AREXX, I guess
I'll have to register (what the hell, it's only money....guess I'll do
it right now)

My roomate usually gets 1864 cps with JrComm 1.01, and I get about the same with most of my terminal programs, whether I use zmodem or ymodem. > >How can an external packet/library format such as XPR beat an inline >optimized zmodem code that jrcomm has? > >Phil Dietz > >BTW, Ncomm1.92 has added the rest of the Zmodem flags so it's usuable now. > > >-- Subliminal Signature > Phil Dietz > A M I G A 231b3678@fergvax.unl.edu > Univ. of Nebraska -- David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN Tomas Arce Any students from SUNY Oswego?

You obviously had something setup wrong because a download is *entirely* dependent on the sender, you can only recieve file as fast as it is sent. Off hand, the three things that kill a JR-Comm transfer are the space check, file saver and XON/XOFF handshake options. Willing to bet that you had one or more of these active, did you? BTW, I checked out 1.92 myself, it still can't upload (which is the benchmark for any FTP) as fast as JR-Comm. -jack-
