All of these protocols can be found on DAN BBS. They are all included as
default configurations in Terminate. If you are a beginner just use Zmodem
that is much more easy to understand. Here is some more information about
the protocols. Prices are in US-dollars and might have changed.
Puma/Mpt Filename: MPT110.ARJ Size: 60k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Puma is an enhanced Zmodem with some extra compression and some real nice
fancy screen layout. It is fast, good and reliable. It was renamed from
Puma to Mpt because of a the company Puma (shoes) complained about the
use of this name (that was the rumour). Shareware price $15
BiModem Filename: BIMOD125.ARJ Size: 170k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A very fast protocol that allows you to upload, download files and chat
with the sysop at the same time. Very good and stable. Shareware price $25
HSLink Filename: HS121.ARJ Size: 140k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Same as BiModem, just a newer program. Does the same things as BiModem.
My opinion is that it is just as good as BiModem. It gives you a lot of
information when transfering files. Shareware price $20
Super Zmodem Filename: SZMOD200.ARJ Size: 150k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Very fancy Zmodem, with a lot of enhancements. It can do normal Zmodem
transfers as well. But while you are transfering files you can play
Tetris or Four-In-A-Row. To chat it demands of course that both ends uses
Super Zmodem. Shareware price $20
Lynx Filename: LYNX212A.ARJ Size: 28k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Seems like a good protocol. But I do not think it is used many places.
A shame because it looks good and it is free Freeware price $0
CMP Filename: CHATMN23.ARJ Size: 270k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Chat manager protocol. A protocol that belongs to a package called Chat
manager. It allows several users to chat with each other on multiline
systems. It supports RA,SBBS,MAX,OPUS,QUICK-BBS. The shareware price for
the BBS part is around 40$ non-commercially and the protocol is 10-20$.
Jmodem Filename: JMOD311.ARJ Size: 99k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Again a fast protocol, but this protocol can send up to 8192 bytes in each
block. The best thing about this protocol is that an entire C-source is
coming with the program, so it easily can be compiled under other system.
The program is public domain and there is no money charged.
GSZ/DSZ Filename: GSZ1109.ARJ Size: 107k, Filename: DSZ1109X.ARJ Size: 40k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
GSZ and DSZ is the same thing. GSZ has just a little bit more of screen
layout than DSZ, the screen layout is nothing to cheer about compared to
Puma,Bimodem or HSLink. But GSZ/DSZ is a good standard Zmodem. It also
have Xmodem,Ymodem (G and Batch). If you pay you get something called
MobyTurbo, but don't let this fool you because the other protocols around
is just as fast. Shareware price $20-$30
GifLink Filename: GIFLK112.ARJ Size: 200k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A Zmodem that allows you to view GIF images while you download. Maybe a nice
feature but $30 is way to much for this. Do yourself a favour and buy a
CDROM drive and a CD with GIF pictures of nude girls, if you really spend
hours and hours downloading these. This it is much much more cheaper and
faster. Shareware price $30
HydraCom Filename: HCOM_100.ARJ Size: 100k
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A nice Bi-directional protocol just as Bimodem and HSLink. It have no
additional features, but the best thing is that it is FREE. The C-sourcecode
for it can be download from here HYDRAKIT.ARJ 230k. It should now also have
been translated into TurboPascal. Made by Arjen G. Lentz.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Remember that you can never compare the CPS rates or whatever these programs
call the speed. Please beware that many things can confuse the calculation.
Maybe these files are not the latest available at DAN BBS. But if you don't
get the file when searching at DAN BBS or filerequesting. Try replacing the
numbers with ?, like BIMOD125.ARJ with BIMOD???.ARJ
