Aren't you confusing Ymodem with Ymodem-g?  Ymodem has worked perfectly
(especially Ymodem-4k) on noisy lines for me...what hinders Xmodem is the SMALL
packet sizes it sends (and has to wait for an acknowledgement after each 128
bytes, I believe).

Now a ZyRion v4.09F port to the GS would be cool...:) HS/Link anybody?
