[request for cu with file transfer protocol.]
>Why not just use ckermit.
One reason, is that ckermit on Vax hosts is a CPU pig. If you are
paying for time, zmodem can be much less expensive to run (roughly 50
percent on UCD Vax 11/750s). zmodem also appears to handle binary files
with less overhead and somewhat higher transfer rates.

My experience too. You can have the best of both worlds. zmodem can be
run from ckermit on your local machine with the ! command. In fact
zmodem can be run from with mskermit as well; I do it often.
