It will run the line at about 91% rated speed (slowing under errors, of course). It is *very* reliable and features restart so you don't resend if a connection get totally broken. I had it running on my 7300 bbs and it worked fine. I also has a hacked up mail and file xfer system that used it to selected other systems, but all that stuff was on the system when I sold it. I can still dig up a copy of the zmodem stuff, although it's been posted many (many-many) times. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
