g: the original
G: a later (HDB?) SVRx version that did 256 byte packets and a seven packet window
f: X.25 optimized printable-characters-only
x: similar to above?
z: Doug Evans wrote this as an alternative to 'f' back when 8-bit paths were not everywhere yet.
i: 'internet' stream the data.
g, G, and f, we can get definitions for easily enough I think. For 'z' I can track down Doug, but Taylor UUCP should have the details.
