Who wants to write a Zmodem or Ymodem protocol? #51

Probably more of a feature request, but I don't have access to write into that area. I'm pretty sure the C-Net 128 software has Ymodem, and I wonder if it can be ported over for our purposes. Since so many people are running emulators to call and download from us, it seems almost a shame to limit them to Xmodem only.

The wishlist tag is what I came up with. And you're right, X/Ymodem would be nice. I don't know if it would fit in 2,680 bytes (the maximum allowable ++ protocol size right now). We could look at C-Net 128, or even Nick Rossi's NovaTerm 10 code. Not sure where source is for C-Net 128. Any leads?

I do want to fix #46 first. (I mean, actually fixing 19.2k, not the careless commits I make [real close to that, though]).

Agreed. A stable connection and DTR availability trumps UD protocol any day.
