I got a new terminal program, and it includes a few transfer protocols
that are quite strange to me, though I've heard of them before.
 
I'd like to know about:
 
xmodem-1k, ymodem batch.
 
What's the difference between the regular xmodem and the 1k version, and
is ymodem batch a multi-file transfer thingie?
 
I also have xmodem and Punter (also milti-file punter). I know about t
these.
 
Which is the best to use for speed vs error rate?
 
Thanks in advance,
