- Is this true?
-
- YMODEM = XMODEM + 1k packet size + CRC checking + multiple file
- transmit ability.
-
- That is, if I have a choice between XMODEM-1k and YMODEM, do I use
- YMODEM only if I need the multiple file transmit ability?
-
- Can anyone recommend a text which explains the history and differences
- and advantages of various telecom protocols (X/Y/ZMODEM & Kermit)?
