  ZMODEM
       
           A file transfer protocol with error checking and
          crash recovery.  Developed by Chuck Forsberg.  Its transfer
          rate is similar to {YMODEM-g}.  Like YMODEM-g, ZMODEM does not
          wait for positive acknowledgement after each block is sent,


          but rather sends blocks in rapid succession.  If a ZMODEM
          transfer is cancelled or interrupted for any reason, the
          transfer can be resurrected later and the previously
          transferred information need not be resent.
