I'm probably missing the point in a big way, but I have a 19.2K line between my NeXT and my 1-meg CHIP A500 with only two floppies. With handshaking enabled (software, 'course), I don't get data loss with ZModem. Of course, I do get a lot of waiting for the floppies... > Ronald Kushner Life in Hell BBS +1 (313) 939-6666 Dave Hopper |MUYOM!/// Anthro Creep | NeXT Campus Consultant at Stanford | __ /// . . | Smackintosh/UNIX Consultant - AIR bard@jessica. | \\\/// Ia!
