Zmodem was awesome. I remember the transition from Xmodem or Ymodem to Zmodem. Zmodem was fully duplex and was so much faster than the other protocols, until BBSes died due to the Internet. I'm hopeful he lived a very great life.

That is, until SModem killed the ZModem star ;-)

Good times. Sad to hear Chuck has passed away.
