Just a point on CIS in general… YMODEM would be a great advantage to all of
us users, no doubt. But would it necessarily be in the interset of CIS to
implement a download/upload protocol that's faster than what's currently
available. You pay for UL/DL time, so why not pay more for XMODEM, dealing
with 128 byte packets. In fact, if I were CIS, I might try to arrange for
XMODEM to have to re-send a few of its 128 byte packets during download; or
slow my serving computer down, just to force an average download to take
longer. As long as I didn't cripple the system enough to drive away users,
I'd make all kinds of extra money each month.
