If I remember correctly, Ymodem-G means 1024k packets. If you have a 128k
enhanced //e or more recent machine, then you can use Z-Link, which does
Ymodem and Ymodem Batch. It doesn't do Zmodem however. I took one look at
the specs for it and decided that implementing a simulation of a nuclear
reaction would be easier. A friend of mine, who has an IBM, says that Zmodem
is flakey anyway. He isn't really proud of it...

If you haven't guessed, I'm the author of Z-Link. It's shareware for $25.
