File Transfer Help - Protocols:
------------------------------
Several File Transfer Protocols are available on the HMVH Corporation BBS.
Their features are outlined below:
Xmodem: An error-checking protocol that transmits data in blocks of
128 bytes. Most commonly used on baud rates up to 2400bps.
Xmodem/1K: An extension to Xmodem, data is transmitted in 1k (1024 bytes)
blocks.
Xmodem/1K-g: Identical to Xmodem/1K, but the file is transmitted in one
continuous stream of data. Should be used on error-correcting
modems only.

Ymodem: Also a type of extension to Xmodem, it transmits additional
information about the file (such as name and length) along.
Data is transmitted in 1k blocks.
Ymodem-g: Similar to Ymodem, but data is sent in one continuous stream.
Should only be used with error-correcting modems (MNP).
Zmodem: The most popular protocol, Zmodem offers 16- and 32-bit CRC
(excellent error-correction), batch transfers and fast error
recovery. Furthermore, it is able to continue transmitting a
file from where it left off should the connection have broken.
