Funny, I was told (after forwarding a FAQ from this group long ago to a
C=64 owner) that the C=64 can handle 38400 bps, and he was surprised to
see the FAQ asking if 2400 was possible.  As I'm not a native C= user, my
facts may be mixed up, but I understand there were/are modems available
that plug into the cartridge slot.  Not sure on their speed limitations.

As to the other stuff, I guess I'm not much help.  I'm here for the friend
looking for a good Ymodem Batch protocol that can be used in conjunction
with EBBS 64.
