	Ymodem 1K is a little bit faster than Xmodem with 128 byte 
packets, but not THAT much. (I think the basic protocols are virtually
identical, correct?)

	You're just doing less CRCs, and even doing 1/8 of them, it still
seems you wouldn't speed up a whole transfer that much because the CRCs
don't take up that much time.

	There's gotta be some other reason for the speedup.
