According to John Miller <miller@sun.lclark.edu>:
|Awhile back Chuck Forsberg announced such a showdown, and I saw a followup
|article in the Oregonian. The Oregonian's article was more entertaining
|than informative, and Forsberg did not seem to publish any hard results
|on the net.
In my particular setup (dialup to Unix server at Columbia University),
even with long packets enabled, etc., DSZ has a speed edge over
MS-Kermit.
However, Kermit is totally free. Moreover, Frank's crew writes
documentation 1000% better than Mr. Forsberg--the DSZ docs (and command
parameter interface) is as obscure and unintentionally hilarious as can
get.
