Yes. That's one of the provisions of Zmodem; you can specify a buffer size
if you are the receiver or respect the buffer size of your receiver if you are
the sender. ProTerm v2.2 does the latter, but not the former. My code does
both.
And, whoever said that Zmodem is impossible to do on an Apple II didn't know
anything about Zmodem.
