That's awesome! Ironically, Xmodem wouldn't have worked well over CIS's network, since to talk to the X25 nodes you had to have software flow control enabled in your modem connection. Small transfers might work, but when you hit the Xmodem block number that coincides with ^Q, that block would repeatedly NAK until the transfer failed.

You could download things from Compuserv's file forums with Xmodem. They probably had some kind of escaping to overcome that???

  You could. I remember doing it (on my Apple IIc, right around 1988-89!)
