Why does these protocols (and probably several others) wait several seconds
before the first packer is transfered? I'm transfering files from a PC to a
UN*X host running rb (receive ymodem). Can I tell rb something special to
not wait? Or is it the sending side that is waiting (unnessecarily)?

Please remind me (by email) to read this newsgroup if You post a reply.
