Subject: YMODEM protocol = XMODEM + 1

*** NAK THIS LINE ***

A description of several enhancements to the popular Ward Christensen
"XMODEM" protocol has been distributed to bulletin board systems with
the file name YMODEM.DOC.  An article late this year in Byte Magazine
will cover the same topics.

YMODEM provides enhanced operation with high speed modems, especially
over satellite links.  The batch transfer option allows programs such
as "Professional-YAM" to send files between DOS, Unix, and other systems
while preserving exact file length and modification date.

The file is available on Telegodzilla (503-621-3746 1200,300 bps) in
normal and squeezed (YMODEM.DQC) form.  A sister file YMODEME.D[OQ]C
is formatted for a Gemini or Epson printer with boldface, etc.

UUCP sites can obtain these files with
       uucp omen!/usr/spool/uucppublic/ymodem.doc /tmp

ymodeme.doc and ymodem.shar (mm macro) are in the same directory.

The following L.sys line calls Telegodzilla (Pro-YAM in host operation),
accesses the locally connected Xenix machine with YAM's "link" command,
and then logs in as uucp.
