	Well, I use the smartdrv of Windows as disk cache on extended memory.
	I also noticed the bad block problem when using xmodem and ymodem.
	Sometimes the error rate can go as high as 20%. However, I never had
	any problem using these transmitted files even though errors were
	reported. I use Avatex 2400 external modem, if that matters.
