EMSI is an extensible session negotiation protocol and is not more or less
suited for any particular transport layer. Now, if you want to talk about
Zmodem and its efficiency over IP, then that's a different matter. But EMSI
has, again, nothing to do with Zmodem.

If you're going to be rude to people, at least get your facts straight. And as
far as POTS goes, we did FidoNet sessions over packet switching networks a long
time ago, and that had nothing to do with POTS.

There was a time, when there was something called session fallback, which
usually meant FTS-1. Since I haven't gone through the entire stack of FTSC and
Policy documents in a while, I'm guessing I will find something to the effect
of "We don't need no common ground".

Thanks.
