Im sorry if I postted something that has already been posted on the net.  Pleasetry to understand that I am new to the concept of this Unix stuff.  I appericate all the help all of you have given me in the past, and I hope you can bear with me as I try to learn more abou this system.

If I may be so bold as to ask yet another question that hopefully has not already been posted...

The term program that is packaged with this siftlink is Desterm as I understand it.  My question is, can I connect with another commodre user running DesTerm with Swiftlink and up/download with punter/xmodem at 9600 bps with a 9600 baud modem such as the USR HST?  Is it worth it?  Even with a hard disk drive such as the Lt Kernal, the system has to stop and write/read blocks ever 4 packettes, slowing down effectivness of the transfer.

At the current time, my BBS (Cnet 128 v 4.0) software is pusing about 180 cps MAX using xmodem 1k protocol at 2400 connect.
