- All of these protocols can be found on DAN BBS. They are all included as
- default configurations in Terminate. If you are a beginner just use Zmodem
- - it is much more easy to understand. Here is some more information about
- the protocols. Prices are in US dollars and might have changed:
-
- Puma/Mpt Filename: MPT110.ARJ Size: 60k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Puma is an enhanced Zmodem with some extra compression and some real nice
- fancy screen layout. It is fast, good and reliable. It was renamed from
- Puma to Mpt because the company Puma (shoes) complained about the
- use of this name (that was the rumour). Shareware price $15
-
-
- BiModem Filename: BIMOD125.ARJ Size: 170k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- A very fast protocol that allows you to upload, download files and chat
- with the sysop at the same time. Very good and stable. Shareware price $25
-
-
- HSLink Filename: HS121.ARJ Size: 140k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Same as BiModem, just a newer program. Does the same things as BiModem.
- My opinion is that it is just as good as BiModem. It gives you a lot of
- information when transfering files. Shareware price $20
-
-
- Super Zmodem Filename: SZMOD200.ARJ Size: 150k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Very fancy Zmodem, with a lot of enhancements. It can do normal Zmodem
- transfers as well. But while you are transfering files you can play
- Tetris or Four-In-A-Row. To chat it demands of course that both ends use
- Super Zmodem. Shareware price $20
-
-
- Lynx Filename: LYNX212A.ARJ Size: 28k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Seems like a good protocol, but we do not think it is used in many places.
- A shame because it looks good and it is free. Freeware price $0
-
-
- CMP Filename: CHATMN23.ARJ Size: 270k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Chat manager protocol. A protocol that belongs to a package called Chat
- Manager. It allows several users to chat with each other on multiline
- systems. It supports RA,SBBS,MAX,OPUS,QUICK-BBS. The shareware price for
- the BBS part is around 40$ non-commercially and the protocol is 10-20$.
-
-
- Jmodem Filename: JMOD311.ARJ Size: 99k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Again a fast protocol, but this protocol can send up to 8192 bytes in each
- block. The best thing about this protocol is that an entire C-source is
- provided with the program, so it easily can be compiled under other systems.
- The program is public domain and there is no money charged.
-
-
- GSZ/DSZ Filename: GSZ1109.ARJ Size: 107k, Filename: DSZ1109X.ARJ Size: 40k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- GSZ and DSZ is the same thing. GSZ has just a little bit more screen
- layout than DSZ, the screen layout is nothing to cheer about compared to
- Puma, Bimodem or HSLink. But GSZ/DSZ are good standard Zmodem protocols.
- It also has Xmodem, Ymodem (G and Batch). If you pay you get something
- called MobyTurbo, but don't let this fool you because the other protocols
- around are just as fast. Shareware price $20-$30
-
-
- GifLink Filename: GIFLK112.ARJ Size: 200k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- A Zmodem that allows you to view GIF images while you download. Maybe a nice
- feature if you really spend hours and hours downloading GIFs.
- Shareware price $30
-
-
- HydraCom Filename: HCOM_100.ARJ Size: 100k
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- A nice Bi-directional protocol just as Bimodem and HSLink. It has no
- additional features, but the best thing is that it is FREE. The C-sourcecode
- for it can be downloaded from DAN BBS as HYDRAKIT.ARJ Size: 230k. It should
- also have been translated into TurboPascal now. Made by Arjen G. Lentz.

- Remember that many of the CPS rates that these protocols claim are NOT
- comparable. Please be aware that many things can confuse the calculation...
-
- Maybe the filenames listed above are not the latest versions currently
- available at DAN BBS. But if you don't get the file when searching at DAN
- BBS or file requesting, try replacing the version numbers with ?. eg:
- BIMOD125.ARJ with BIMOD???.ARJ
