One is based on a protocol created by Ward Christensen, and the other had its roots at Columbia University (I think). The first is called MODEM2, MODEM7, MDM7xx (xx=two digits) or some similar name. The second is called KERMIT. Both of these are available for with several timeshare machines and many micros. Whichever you choose, there must be compatible programs running on both ends of the transfer to obtain the benefits of automatic transfer with error detection and retransmission of bad blocks. MODEM7 files are on Simtel20, and KERMIT files are on Columbia-20. Dave towson@amsaa
