On our UNIX systems we have a number of programs for transferring files
from UNIX to CP/M and vice versa. I use KERMIT as well as UMODEM and UC
from time to time. I was looking at the man page for UMODEM and UC and
I saw that other protocols could be specified for transfer.

The following are mentioned:
"CP/M User's Group XMODEM" protocol
TERM II File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Number 1
TERM II File Transfer Protocol Number 4 for packetized file up/downloading.
TERM FTP 3 (CP/M UG)
TERM II/TERM III File Transfer Protocol 1 developed by Richard Conn
 
Would someone enlighten me as to what the differences are between
these protocols, robustness, etc.? I use MDM730 on my CPM side and
the default protocol which is TERM FTP 3 (CP/M UG), I think. 

I would hate to be missing out on something.
