- It appears to be an excellent performer under symetrical high-speed
- conditions. From 9600 on up, it works very well. At 2400, it is very
- competitive with Zmodem. I think you have a real winner here.

- BTW, kudos to you for creating such an easy protocol to add to both comm
- programs and the BBS. It took only about 5 minutes to put it into my
- PCBoard system and Qmodem. So far, so good!

- I have been getting about 95-96% efficiency with Zmodem, but with
- HS/LINK I get about 98% with one way transfers...haven't tried 2-way
- yet.

- I've been onto telecommunications for eight years and have run a BBS for
- six.. I have never used a transfer protocol that any where measures up
- to your new protocol.. It's amazing that you could develop all the
- features that you have in only a ver 1 beta.. Keep up the good work..
- This protocol is going to be one that I will recommend over any other.

- It's a fine product, and I'm happy to say in my implementation of it in
- Qmodem, it's been faster than Y-Modem G, something I didn't think was
- possible.

-
- Glad you found the problem, though! People are starting to take to it
- real heavy. I think it's a true winner and it's been a pleasure to have
- worked with you on the few problems its had. Your attitude toward
- producing quality software is a shining example to the rest of the
- software producers.

- I set it up on my BBS in 5 minutes and in my TELIX pgm in 3 minutes...
- most of that time was consumed by my "hunt and oeck" typing!

- Several boards in my area have started using HSLINK and really like it.
- So easy. As an example, I had just uploaded it to a PC-Board and then
- entered a message to the sysop urging him to give this protocol
- consideration. By the time I had finished with the letter, he broke
- into chat and said he had unziped it and installed it. Wanted me to
- test it right then. We did a bi-directional transfer without a hitch.

- I see that someone beat me in getting registration in, but literally
- "the check's in the mail" as of 15 minutes ago. Please reserve me as
- low a number as possible. I'm always pleased to support superb
- shareware products, such as those you've written. As the Vice President
- of the Capital Area SysOps Association (CASA) in the Washington DC area,
- I will be mentioning your new product at our next meeting this Saturday.
- If there is anything in particular you'd like my fellow SysOps to know
- about your product, please let me know and I'll pass it along.

- I was worried at first because every time I tried to d/l using HS/Link
- beta 7 (I removed my -S4096) it aborted, but it works just great with
- beta 8. Keep up the great work! I'm going to save you a call and u/l
- it to Salt Air now. Thanks for writing HS/Link.

- MO▌Ping-Pong....Don't really know about this type of effect...but if it is
- ▌using both channels,,,why wouldn't it work. (bidirectional that is)...
-
- In a manner of speaking, the HST, V-series Hayes and others are
- full duplex, but they are asymetrical - one channel is at a very
- high speed and the other is simultaneous, but slow. The priority
- goes to the channel with the most data. If both are sending equal
- amounts, the high speed channel switches back and forth - a common
- term used to describe this is "ping-ponging". In a bi-directional
- transfer or a fully interactive session, where both sides are
- transmitting equal amounts of data simultaneously, one side would
- be sending at top speed and the other side would get the low speed
- back channel until a lull on the high speed end occurred,
- switching the high speed channel to the other sender.
-
- MO▌Correct me if I am wrong...but I thought that the v.32 mean
- ▌full-duplex??? (in the 9600 series)
-
- Yes, v.32 is full duplex - but it is also symetrical with both
- channels carrying 9600 bps simultaneously.
- .......Ken Sukimoto
-
-
- Please don't overlook HSLINK's ability to do one-way transfers!
-
- Of course it's getting attention as a bi-directional protocol, but the
- great error control, and the ability to set the size of the packet size
- makes the speed comparable to Zmodem or Ymodem-g.
-
- HSLINK: It's not just for bi-directionals anymore!

-
- HSLink 10C looks very close to a release to these untrained eyes. I sure
- do hope it will work with other BBSes, because if it does Mr Smith is
- going to get a LOT of registrations. He's gonna get some from here even
- as it stands, which for the moment is a one-way protocol. It's VERY nice
- work.

- Recently Werner Gumpert and I were discussing the growth of use on such
- a new protocol as being nothing short of phenominal <sp> as in the
- short time it has been out is now is used on 11.8% of all file
- transfers on my board, including the QWK mail transfers. This is
- second only to Zmodem and has replaced Ymodem and all the others. Great
- program! The BBS community owes you a big thanks for producing it.
