   So what is the verdict?  Who has white knight 11.02?  Does it really
   cure all the problems with zmodem auto-receive?  Is it as fast as
   zterm?  Zterm works so well, I am tempted to get WK and convert all my
   RR9.4 scripts to use zmodem, since 9.4 kermit & my unix kermit seem to
   misbehave around byte #65K on large uploads.

I don't have 11.02 (yet), but I can give some timings on ZTerm vs. WK 11.01:
On a large (500K) file, ZTerm gets 96-98% efficiency.  WK gets 92% efficiency.

Of course, each of these efficiencies is as measured by the programs
themselves, and they may not use the same method to calculate it.  Caveat user.
