Certail tools that are used in business, such as pcAnywhere use Zmodem for file
transfers and they work fine.  The overhead that is associated with telnet and
the actual transfer and the slow connection speed of uploading DSL/Cable modems
may cause Zmodem to cancel out.  WildCat5 and Synchronet are in two different
categories and I wouldn't compare them.  I've used both, ran both, and prefer
Synchronet to be more "standards" based then anything.
