[Coco] Xmodem, Ymodem

[Bob Devries]

I've used ZModem between my PC and my Amiga, but I must say it's very 
unreliable, and prone to time-outs, regardless of the transmission speed.

I'd say the SZ and RZ should work via the setup you mentioned (shell 
i=/t2&), and I have used that in the past, but I've only used XModem and 
YModem from within a terminal program like XCom9.
