     It depends, it you're using an error correcting modem, YModem will
     beat out Zmodem. Also, some of the bi-directional protocols offer
     a lot for the 2400bps user. At 14.4, I really don't care one way
     or the other.  :-)
     The correction scheme in BiModem works real well. I can get better
     transfer rates on marginal lines than I can with Moby-Turbo Zmodem.

Bimodem and HSLINK transer files in both directions at the *same* time. Zmodem 
is unidirectional.  If you upload and download at once you can get up to 
double the transfer rate.
