- As a couple other people have suggested, Zmodem is your best bet. However,
- if for some reason you _have_ to use Kermit (like I do...), setting the packet
- length as long as possible (I usually use 1000 bytes) will speed up Kermit
- a great deal, esp. on high speed modems with error correction. On the Unix
- version of Kermit, this can be done with the -e option. I don't know about the
- VAX version.
