How 'bout Kermit? =B^)
Kermit has been used to capture CyperPunks<tm> before! =B^)
BTW, anybody have a frog for Maximus?

I pretty much agree...  Although from things I've read on the COMM echo, it 
sounds like there are situations where Ymodem or Ymodem-G can do better 
speeds,but without the crash-recovery of Zmodem.
I saw one on my board that really surprised me... A guy who was supposed to be 
using Telix/Windows using old plain vanilla Xmodem and ended up at 188 cps 
for his transfer (2400 baud).  I usually use Zmodem with Telix or FrontDoor 
and alway get 230-235 cps at 2400 baud (VERY OLD non-correcting Courier 2400).
