Howabout ZModem? That's even better! You can resume aborted transfers!

: Ok, all this time, we've been trying to use both lines for data
: transfer. If we use both, then we are esentially using sterio sound, but
: modems work great on mono. Sure if you are hard wired to gether, then
the
: connection goes red-red, and white-white. But in a radio transmitter, we
: can transmit on one, and recieve on the other. Or we could just use one
: line and employ a protocol that modems use to transfer. This is where
you
: guys come in... The most efficient transfer protocol is by far Xmodem
CRC,
: right (assume that were leaving out isnd and T3 lines). Does somebody
know
: EXACTLY how it takes care of errors? Don't reply saying that it has
: something to do with a checksum bit, I know that. Then you could leave
you
: calc on waiting for a signal, and when you get a request, you could play
a
: game, or chat, or whatever.
