@darius it's weird to me that anyone would discover this common thing that nobody used in bbs modem comms but was always available.

Way cool.

@shatter I learned it from guys who consider the BBS a technology that was popular with people 20 years younger than them

@darius I was pretty deep into bbs's 87 to around 99 when I finally took my board down.

A lot of good times and lifelong friends.

We mostly used xmodem for transfers. It was pretty much standard. Kermit was there but it was like why use something different if it works.

There was a whole stack of life protocols. Xmodem, ymodem, xmodem crc, etc.
