Of course not.  Ymodem-g is hardly a fair comparison, but you're right, it
does give bigger numbers.  Useless in a mailer, where retransmision of
partial files may be necessary; it can't even survive having to resend a
single block!

Not on an error-free link.

SREJ can only make ANY difference when there ARE bad frames needing to be
retransmitted (where throughput will be down anyway).  It does absolutely
nothing on a good link, as there're no bad frames to Selectively Reject :)

Again, try seeing what difference using MNP4 makes; you should crack around
1700/1440*3360 = 3967 CPS (~118%).  MNP4 with Hydra, and you just might
roll up those 'magic' zeroes, shaving another 1% off your phonebill ..

(I've got ten fingers too, but don't understand this zero-worship stuff! :)
