Tom- An expansion or the previous answer-CServ (and STERM) can use the 'B+'
protocol,where CompuServ doesn't wait for your CoCo to check out the last block
sent before it sends the next one. The fly in the ointment is the stock RS disk
controller, which stops the CPU while it writes/reads the disk. SIince a
RAMDisk is a imaginary disk drive, it doesn't use the RS controller and saves
at the speed of RAM. Do a CTRL-ESC-Z on an xmodem download and see what all
those HALTs do for you! The RS-232 kit I told you about converts a modempak
into a 300-9600 baud serial port,although you lose the crappy modem. Best- Rick
