- The answer is rather unambiguously zmodem. If one speaks of the
- different telecommunications packages, there are many of them in
- use, and the opinnions can be quite divided. But as for file
- transfers zmodem seems to dominate in actual usage. I am not being
- partisan, but rather observing the current practice.
-
- If one goes down to details, all transfer protocols have their
- proponents, and if you can lay your hands on kermit with long
- packages, it is fair, too. But it has one drawback which I don't
- like at all. That is that it does not preserve the file's date
- stamp in the transfer.

- Followups directed to comp.archives.msdos.d only which is replacing
- comp.binaries.ibm.pc.archives.

- All the best, Timo
