I'm no comm guru either, but I would expect kermit to be faster since it can
underscore can use larger blocks.  The work connection was through an internal
telephone system using codecs rather than modems, but functionally its the same
as dialing up thru a modem.  The available bandwidth is larger, or course, thus
permitting 19.2 transmission.  But even at 2400 or 4800, kermit seems fast at
work.  I say seems since I can't use xmodem or any ?modem there - only kermit
for file transfer - but watching the bits and bytes come through it seems fast.
In running kermit from home at 2400 on CIS, it appears far slower than xmodem.
