Yep. A properly configured, later version of ckermit was typically as fast or faster than zmodem (at least, as I remember from the mid-1990s).

- jamiesonbecker 11y agoYeah this was a while ago. ;) My experience was that zmodem was incredibly fast under real-world conditions. It really was like getting a speed boost on your 300 or 1200 baud (or 2400 baud, if you were lucky!) pipe. Anyone remember xmodem or ymodem as well? EDIT: I didn't realize he'd written ymodem as well! What a brilliant guy.
- jandrese 11y agoYeah, but getting Kermit properly configured required the blood of three chickens and a wizard. Z-Modem had sane defaults right out of the box.
