Hi Rick,
(TELIX, Sunday February 09 1997 13:17) Rick Collins to Chris Hayes about: 
IceZmodem

 RC> By "bps" do you mean "bits per second" or "bytes per second"?
AFAIK "bps" is bits per second, "cps" is bytes (characters) per second.
 RC> If the former, the throughput is not dramatically different from that
 RC> possible with Zmodem.
??? Even for a 2400 bps modem??? Reread please: Chris wrote about a 20000 bps 
transfer with a 2400 bps modem!!!!
 RC> If the latter, care to explain how _any_
 RC> transfer protocol can exceed the absolute speed of the link?
Yeah, THAT part I'm curious about TOO ;)
 RC> Consider: a 28,800 connect is 28,800 _bits_ per second, and that's
 RC> (generously) 3600 _bytes_ per second.
3333 CPS to be exact!
 RC> No protocol can exceed the absolute limit imposed by the link speed.
Just what *I* was thinking...
Bye,
