THE XMODEM-1K-G PROTOCOL
This is a variation of XMODEM-1K that is meant
for error-free channels such as error correcting modems or
null modem cable links between two computers. It achieves
great speed by sending blocks one after another without wait-
ing for acknowledgement from the receiver. Because of this
however, it can not re-send blocks in case of errors (and thus
the need for an error-free link). If an error is detected by
the receiver, the transfer is aborted. This protocol is still
mistakenly called 'Ymodem-g' by many programs, but people are
gradually moving over to the proper name.
