Beth,
This is pretty much a stale topic by now. Kermit (MS-DOS and C)
can operate just as fast as the X/Y/Zmodem transfers and with a heck of
a lot more robustness. The matter is discussed in some detail in the
Summer 94 issue of Kermit News.
Communications isn't simple or plug and play, no matter how much
we might wish it to be so. Adjustments are always needed to achieve higher
than standard performance or to even converse at all. The Kermit protocol
is designed to be robust and flexible, and it's easily adjusted to be as
fast as anything else. We have no interest in providing X/Y/Zmodem protocols
in our products because we firmly believe we have superior solutions all
around.
