- I would be careful using the -G protocols. The -G protocols are intended
- for modems with error correcting protocols. (eg. MNP and V.32). The non
- -G protocols are slightly slower than the -G counterparts, but they do
- guarantee the integrity of the file where the -G protocols rely on the
- modem-modem error corrections which only provide block-block integrity.
