If you are truly elite, or if you are a part of the Google Summer of Code, then know that in this BBS Scene we are desperately in need of a better z-modem protocol.  Currently the Mystic BBS and Synchronet's SEXYZ protocols are limited to pushing about 1.4-2.0 megabytes per second max.  Even if you have a gigabit connection you will still be stuck with about a meg and a half to two megs per second.  Back in the day when zmodem was created they never provisioned for the massive speed increases available through the Internet's broadband revolution.

So we are told that "you have not because you ask not..."  Well I'm asking everyone out there who wants to make a really positive contribution to The BBS Scene: We need a ZModemGbit protocol.  It needn't be called ZModemGbit, it can be called anything.  What we need is a protocol of some sort that is compatible with Mystic BBS and Synchronet BBS and Enigma1/2 that is in the form of a simple executable file for which you can give it commands just the same way as SEXYZ operates, being compatible with how it is "called up," but very different in its protocol operations to have massively fast data transfers, way surpassing what the current z-modem and ZedZap (z-modem 8K) can do.

Thank you for everything that you will do.

Cheers!
