Holy moley!
 
I just tried the new version of NComm, and boy, am I amazed!  It has
built in XPR transmission protocals and are they fast!  I downloaded
off of a 19.2k direct connect fiber-optic network with both JRCOMM1.01 and
Ncomm1.92 to see which was faster.  To my amazment Ncomm transferred
around 1850 cps whereas jrcomm hit around 1550 cps.  I didn't believe my 
results so I downloaded another 300k file to test again.  Sure enough, it
peaked out at 1850 again!  I didn't believe it again, so I figured out the CPS
via my calculator.  Te average CPS over the entire transfer was
jrcomm1.01 1565 CPS and ncomm1.92 1849!
 
How can an external packet/library format such as XPR beat an inline
optimized zmodem code that jrcomm has?

BTW, Ncomm1.92 has added the rest of the Zmodem flags so it's usuable now.
