In the April issue of Amiga World there is an artical that talks about
commercial networks.  In the artical they mention that on Plink you can
use WXmodem protocol for downloading.  I was wondering if this is true.
I've used Plink at 1200 baud and only found Xmodem or ASCII 
to be the options offered.


I am also a little confused about the different protocols.  What is the 
difference between Xmodem and WXmodem and is WXmodem the same as Xmodem-CRC.

If WXmodem is available on Plink, can some one tell me how it is used and
is the diffenence worth it.
