</div>For file transfers, you might be able to use kermit or zmodem. They have<br>
packet retransmission capabilities designed to work over links with losses<br>
and lag. iirc Kermit was designed to be used over satellite links where lag<br>
was the bigger problem and zmodem was developed to cope with dropped packets.<br>
<br>
Getting the remote system to speak one of those protocols will be the<br>
challenge.<br><br></blockquote><div> </div><div>There's xmodem s/w for unix out there in the wild with my name on it.<br><br> <br></div></div><br>
