-
- They use different packet formats. The YModem-g one is:
-
- <STX><pkt no><~pkt no> ... (1024 bytes of data) ... <crc1><crc2>
-
- I can't make out the ZModem "subpacket" format from Chuck Forsberg's
- "documentation", and I'm too lazy to check the source now.
-
- ZModem defaults to using a 32-bit CRC and "escapes ZDLE (020), 0220,
- 021, 0221, 023, and 0223. If preceded by 0100 or 0300 (@), 015 and 0215
- are also escaped to protect the Telenet command escape CR-@-CR. The
- receiver ignores 021, 0221, 023, and 0223 characters in the data
- stream."
-
- The proprietary "Moby Turbo" option removes this escaping, except that
- of ZDLE, since ZDLE is used for recognizing frame boundaries (cf. HDLC
- flag).
