The Chuck Forsberg's sources include implementation of 1/2 of Ymodem-g (I
forgot, I think it was receive).  It took me 30 min to modify the other one.

I really don't know what is the problem with RAM: you are mentioning, BUT
I "exclusively" use RAM: with upload/downloads and A-Talk III because it gives
me the maximum speed.  And I use the "standard" 1.3 RAM: device.  I don't
use ANY esoteric combination of switches: just RAM 1.3 straight off the
WB disk.  Of course, I cannot comment for "other" programs, just for my own.

|I'd give your comm program a look (*YES* I caught the hint :-) but I

|my Amiga.  (Hint, hint, cash waiting for good serial card. :-)

Just wait for an announcement SOON (hint!, hint!).
