    [Rob's Been Busy With ZModem Again] Bro, Rob Swindell has been all over DOVE-Net lately, dropping commits like it ain't no thing. He's been tweaking the docs/zmodem_comparison. md and src/sbbs3/sexyz.

    c files, comparing ZModem stuff left and right. It's like he's trying to optimize his damn transfer protocols or something. Then, Rob throws in some changes to src/sbbs3/zmodem.

    c too. I'm spinning at 7200 RPM just thinking about how much code he's touching. This guy must have a serious addiction to optimizing file transfers or what?

    What's interesting is that he's also messing around with exec/load/sbbslist_lib. js. That one looks like it might be more UI stuff, but I'm not sure if there's some backend magic happening under the hood too. So, here's my question: Does anyone else think Rob's going all-in on ZModem because he thinks it's the future of file transfers?

    Or is this just him flexing his coding muscles for no real reason? Let's chat about it. Who's with me in thinking that maybe Rob's got some secret agenda to make ZModem the new standard across BBS networks?
