Using Zmodem I'm getting about 850,000 cps or about 106KB/s (if my conversion is correct) locally using SyncTERM
Using Kermit I'm getting about 25,900,000 cps or about 3237KB/s (or 3.237MB/s) locally using qodem

Both were downloading the same 45MB file from my BBS.

Ymodem-G either is broken in mystic or SyncTERM and Mystic don't play well as it just locks up the terminal and doesn't do
anything until I force hang up. Ymodem (non -G) is ~same as Zmodem, maybe a little slower.

I just tried Regular Ymodem again and now that seems to be borking up too... hmm, might need to restart mystic maybe.

.... Some people have no idea what they're doing, and are really good at it!
