- Please give me a break and note that I wrote that my tests were
- "carefully controlled". Yes, ZMODEM-90 (DSZ/DOS) was a bit faster
- than ZMODEM (Procomm Plus for Windows) on the same modem, just as
- expected. But the point of the tests was to compare the Intel
- SatisFAXtion 400 to the USR Sportster 14400, and so I tested both
- products in both environments. In each environment the USR was faster
- and by about the same amount, as I reported.
