when i download using kermit, i set receive packet to 4096 for a faster
transfer. i then get a message on the screen saying something like "remember
to set BLOCKS 2 or 3 for longer packets". so i set them to 3. i have no idea
what they are, though. should i use 2 or 3? does it really make a difference?
what are they blocks of?
any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated :)
