MPt is a file transfer protocol developed by Matthew Thomas in 1990. MPt was originally called Puma, but Matthew had to change the name due to a trademark problem with the previous name. MPt offers many advanced features:

Full color screen display of transfer status.
Standalone setup program for changing default options, configuring screen colors, and installing registration information.
UART (serial port) baud rates up to 115200 bit/s.
Auto-sensing of 8250, 16450, 16550, and 16550A UARTs. Full support for 16550A FIFO buffers.
The ability to use COM ports 1 through 4, with each port's IRQ and base I/O address fully configurable.
Call Data Standard (CDS) logging of file transfers.
Enhanced DSZ compatible logging of file transfers.
All screen operations use direct video memory access, or DESQview, TaskView, OmniView, TopView, Microsoft Windows, and IBM 3270 PC multi-tasking video buffers (MTVB), if present.
Optional auto-start of the protocol receiver.
Optional data compression on a block level using RLE techniques.
