- Are you sure about that? Zmodem is an extension of Ymodem,
- which is an extension of Xmodem. The Zmodem sources that I've
- seen can also do Ymodem by linking to another filename. Ymodem
- will fall back to Xmodem if necessary, which means you can use it
- with Umodem (but Zmodem is better if you can get it). I'm not
- sure offhand if Zmodem will fall back to Ymodem (and from there
- to Xmodem), but I think it can.
