- How come that I sometimes have to get retries from Z-modem when
- using a modem with MNP-5 or V.42bis/LAP-M ? Both include error
- correction, and I thought that would ensure that all packages
- would be transfered as sent. I also thought that the RE or TE
- messages I see on very noisy lines on my Supra V.32bis would
- mean that the modems resent the packages.
-
- So, is error correction in modems good ? Or is it something
- that helps a little on quality ?
