Geoffrey,

	So are streaming protocols like ZMODEM and YMODEM-G better
	than say Kermit when it comes to transfer performance.  I know
	that ZMODEM is faster in general, but is it specifically better
	for transfer over V.32bis Modems?  What are the advantages and
	disadvantages of each protocol in terms of high-speed transfers
	of pre-compressed files (like *.ZIP)?

	Thanks for your help - please don't be too hard on me because
	of something I don't know - "You Follow?" |(8>
