-
- ZMODEM overhead associated with 1k subpackets is about one half per cent.
-
- The overhead associated with network protection varies with the
- type of data transmitted. With typical compressed files it is
- many times the overhead from 1k subpackets. MobyTurbo(Tm)
- reduces this overhead considerably.
