DESCRIPTION
	Smodem is a new generation file transfer protocol. Unlike older
	protocols, like Zmodem, it has a separate low level multiplexed
        transfer layer (MSLP) and a high level file transfer layer. This
        new design simplifies protocol design and will give a maximum
        efficiency of as high as 99,5%.

	Multiplexing has made it possible to send one or more files in one
	continuous stream without any breaks between files. This will boost
	multiple file transfers dramatically.

	Smodem allows you to have chat during filetransfer. Chat is done
	via string gadget and the whole "sentence" is sent at once. This
	allows easy implementation of multinode chats during file transfers
	and tranferrates don't decrease drascticly.

	The protocol has a symmetrical nature. You can connect Smodem with
	itself by looping transmitted characters back to the receiver.
	There is no reason to limit transfers in one direction. Smodem
	will transfer files in both directions at the same time without
	noticeable performance loss.
        
	SModem works also on telnet lines, if encapsulation is turned on.
