 WL>>> MobyTurbo is great -- I have friends who swear by it, and their
 WL>>> cps-rates back their claims.  Maybe I'll go ahead and get the
 WL>>> DOS version of either DSZ or GSZ.
 TR>>> Might as well.  $30 for GSZ, $20 for DSZ.  I got my GSZ for half
 TR>>> price and my DSZ registration card, though, when it first came
 TR>>> out.  And, Chuck Forsberg pretty much guarantees you free
 TR>>> upgrades on whatever products you register with him.
 WL>> DSZ would probably be a worthwhile investment for the BBS I

CEXYZ *isn't* a protocol; it's an external protocol *engine* that does
several flavors of Xmodem and Ymodem, as well as standard Zmodem.  Two
advantages of this protocol engine:  It's free, and it's easy to
install.  The disadvantages are that it doesn't have all of the goodies
that DSZ has, and it doesn't do graphics at all.  It also never was
supported if the user wasn't a registered user of another Cutting Edge
Computing product that uses an external protocol engine.
