Probably incremental, but I'll tell you this: I certainly remember the benefit of ZMODEM-90 with MobyTurbo over YMODEM-g.
I haven't thought of that protocol feature in about 20+ years. Saved so much extra time transferring over long-distance ($$$).
Just a casual reminder that 20 years ago is 2004. Not trying to correct you or anything, just sharing in the existential dread I felt reading this.
Yep, 2004 is about right, going through terminal emulators and reminiscing on old protocols that no longer mattered because of broadband and TCP/IP. Time flies, that's for sure.
