Hey, you puttin' down zmodem, man? The only one that picked up, if you lost the connection, from where it was, rather than starting new? Only rsync is that good....

ZModem rocks. :-) Heck of a lot easier than remembering how to stuff a binary through uuencode so you can pipe the thing back to your console to grab a file over telnet! LOL!
Never used the uuencode routine - I zipped it first. But I did have to retire my modem - it was a 56k... but an IDE interface. I'm just worried 'bout my next m/b upgrade (in five years or so, just did it the beginning of the year), because I've got a perfectly good big flatbed scanner... SCSI, pci card.
THEY do try to lock down the 'Net... there was a Net before there was a Web, and a *lot* of it was servers (sorry, minicomputers) dialing each other up every hour or day.... The joys of the original design specs for the 'Net.
