personally speaking, i've grown to dislike built-in xfer protocol engines...
why? they cannot be adjusted like some of the external ones... some internal
ones are too tight in their timings because they were built for dedicated
channels like POTS where delays are not as long as they may be on network
channels that may be carrying a lot more traffic than POTS channels carried...
over the years, i've found only a few external xfer protocol engines that
actually work properly on both POTS and network channels... as time has gone
by, i've slowly turned off those internal protocol engines and configured my
software to use only the external ones... but it takes time and a lot of
testing... what may work on an internal LAN may be just slightly too tight to
work on WAN traffic from the outside ;)
