Sending files to the Propeller over Serial

What is the best way to send a file over the serial programming link to the propeller? Is raw data the best way to go, or should I use some protocol like Kermit, X, Y, or Z Modem? I am planning to somehow write to the upper 32K of an EEPROM over the serial link.

I am 1011, so be surprised!

    It really depends on your environment and how reliable transfers are going to be. I'd go for a straight 'here's an <N>KB of image' to start with as being the simplest. You can send that in blocks of 256 bytes with checksums or go for a more complicated but more reliable <?>-Modem protocol.
