- Help for Zmodem
-
- This advanced protocol is very fast and very reliable, and offers
- many features. It can arguably called the most popular protocol in
- use today, and should be used whenever possible. Zmodem can transfer
- a group of files in one batch and keeps the exact file sizes and
- dates. Zmodem can detect and recover from errors quickly, and can
- resume an interrupted transfer at a later time (you may have to
- confiogure your communications program to enable this feature before
- resuming an interrupted download). Zmodem is also very well suited
- for satellite links and packet switched networks.
-
- Zmodem tranfers files in block sizes ranging from 128 bytes to 8k
- (8192) bytes, adjusted dynamically as line conditions change. Zmodem
- does not wait for acknowledgement of a block before transmitting the
- next block, and is capable of 98-99% of the theoretical maximum
- transfer rate.
