Proterm 2.1 performs like a champ on my Laser 128ex using Zmodem,
but then I do have a full 1 Meg ramdisk in slot 5.

The problem with zmodem is that it moves so fast, if the computer waits
to write to disk, the next block has been messed up already...

To get zmodem to work properly under Proterm a person practically has
to use a ramdisk.
