- Actually, if you can do YMODEM-g, you're going to get a bit better throughput
- than with ZMODEM.
-
- Also, 57.6k is not the be-all, end-all, especially if most of your transfers
- involve already compressed files. For text, yep, 57.6k will do quite well,
- but no comm program out there for the Amiga is going to be able to push any
- kind of text display at anything much over 2,000cps. So what good is it?
-
- 19.2k or 38.4k is more than sufficient and gives a larger window for the
- system to respond to serial input interrupts, especially when you're doing
- something else besides file transfers.
-
- One man's opinion...
