[1;33;47m DOWNLOAD PROTOCOLS [1;36;44m

[1;37;44mZMODEM[1;36;44m is the most popular protocol available today. It includes
dynamic packet sizing, automatic download start-up and streaming mode
for fast, efficient transfers.  Failed transfer recovery is supported on
downloads well.  This is TR's default transfer protocol and is the one
you should choose in almost all cases if the software program you are
calling with supports it.  The other protocols listed below are
primarily for compatibility with various calling programs and for use in
a few special instances.

[1;37;44mASCII[1;36;44m protocols should be used only as a last resort if your terminal
or communications software cannot support one of the error-resistant
protocols described below.  ASCII protocols do no error-checking and
require that you use the 'capture' function of your calling software.

[1;37;44mXMODEM and XMODEM-1k[1;36;44m protocols are the most widely available error
resistant protocol used today.  Any terminal or software which supports
these protocols may be used.  These protocols do not transfer the name
of the files sent.  You must supply a name for the file.

[1;37;44mYMODEM[1;36;44m protocol is similar to XMODEM protocol, but can transfer the file
name and exact file size as well.

[1;37;44mYMODEM-G[1;36;44m protocol does absolutely no error correction of any kind
and is the fastest file transfer theoretically possible. However, an
error-free link (usually accomplished with MNP or V.42 protocols having
been built into the sending and receiving modems) is [1;37;44mrequired[1;36;44m.  A single
transmission error will cause the transfer to abort.

[1;37;44mSEAlink[1;36;44m protocol overcomes transmission delays caused by satellite links
or packet switched networks.  You are not likely to need this protocol
unless you are connecting via a network which has significant
transmission delays.

[1;37;44mKERMIT and SuperKERMIT[1;36;44m protocols are unlike all of the above listed
protocols which require a full 8-bit data link to operate correctly.
Such protocols are primarily supported by PC terminal programs, and are
often not available on mainframes and minicomputers.  KERMIT and Super
KERMIT are public domain, widely available protocols that will operate
over seven bit links and may be an appropriate choice if you are
accessing this system via a packet network of some variety.
