Trick Question for the Day:

Using ordinary asynchronous RS-232 full-duplex serial communications, is an
error-detecting/correcting file-transfer protocol possible which is as fast
as or faster than non-protocol transfer?  If not, why not?  If so, how?

This is not a question about data compression or contrived circumstances.
