Using zmodem protocol (on MacIntosh if you have white knight this zmodem is built-in along with xmodem, kermit, etc), on a serial link of 38400 baud, I got 2700K. (As rbriber@poly1.nist.gov pointed out, this speed depends on the access speed of the disk on Mac). For people who don't have zmodem on Mac side, check uwarchive [128.252.135.4] in mirrors/info-mac. On Unix side, you need to set up zmodem package. rbriber@poly1.nist.gov sent me the source code and I compiled it first shot. I saw the title in uwarchive's mirrors/info-mac/unix and you might be able to find it there. If you can not find it, I am willing to mail to you, but send the request to this address: xiao@virtual.rose.utoronto.ca Above all, I would suggest to get rid of kermit and use zmodem. Xiao
