  16. when i download using kermit, i set receive packet to 4096 for a faster 
  17. transfer. i then get a message on the screen saying something like "remember 
  18. to set BLOCKS 2 or 3 for longer packets". so i set them to 3. i have no idea 
  19. what they are, though. should i use 2 or 3? does it really make a difference?
  20. what are they blocks of?
  21.  
  22. any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated :)
