- On more recent versions of C-Kermit, you can adjust the send and
- receive packet lengths to values as high as 2K. And C-Kermit 5A
- (which is still in beta) has sliding windows, which can be useful if
- your connection has long delays.
-
- Since you are interested in unix-to-unix copying, you should probably
- look at uucp (not uucico).
