- The v2.4 XPR code used to return 110 baud as the transfer speed. This
- would not matter much, however zmodem uses a rather weird error recovery
- scheme. It scans exactly the number of bytes determined by the baud
- rate. With 110 baud the protocol would examine the next 110 bytes for
- a valid zmodem sequence. With the real baud rate at 2,400 or 14,400 baud,
- even 20 retries would accomplish nothing.
-
- This bug has been fixed (honestly!) in v2.4a.
