Red Ryder users have my sympathy. As far as throughput, it resembles
ad dead, beached whale (actually the comment of a different equally
satisfied user).

Microphone  is about twice as fast as Red Ryder on a null modem connection
running at 19,200 bps. Has excellent VT-100, and true, WORKING Ymodem.

BUT, In my book there are no comm programs worth recommending on the Mac.      
I love the Mac, but when I want to use a modem I reach for a PC and
ProYAM from Omen Technologies.

ProYAM was written by the _inventor_ of Ymodem & Zmodem, and it shows.

Red Ryder is like a Kodak brownie in comparison to ProYam's Hasselblad.

I wish something like ProYAM's set of features could be run on my Mac.

Just the facts ma'am.
