I have finally had my fill of Kermit's inefficient file transfer
protocol. Is there anything better out there (something with sliding
windows, speed-dependent packet sizing, etc) for transferring files
over a dialup connection (which, alas, is not and can not be a SLIP
connection)? 

Are he Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem protocols more advanced than Kermit? I'm
dealing with two UNIX boxes, so portability should not be much of an
issue (I'll port if necessary, its THAT bad!).

Any help would be much appreciated!!!!
