EMSI is an extensible session negotiation protocol and is not more or less 
suited for any particular transport layer. Now, if you want to talk about 
Zmodem and its efficiency over IP, then that's a different matter. But EMSI 
has, again, nothing to do with Zmodem.

If you're going to be rude to people, at least get your facts straight. And as 
far as POTS goes, we did FidoNet sessions over packet switching networks a long 
time ago, and that had nothing to do with POTS.

There was a time, when there was something called session fallback, which 
usually meant FTS-1. Since I haven't gone through the entire stack of FTSC and 
Policy documents in a while, I'm guessing I will find something to the effect 
of "We don't need no common ground".

Thanks.
