Hey Nancy!

Heh, heh.  That isn't quite what I meant but sure.  Whatever works eh?

I've run across a few of those.  However I made the move to Linux so I
wouldn't need DOS programs.  If I wanted DOS I'd have stuck with it.

Understood.  I'd have to do the simular but already decided that I can
either keep doing this the way I am currently doing this and wait until
everyone else decides that zmodem transfers over an ethernet connection is
a really, really bad idea when compared to less hoggy protocols on a
multitasking/multiuser - and multicore these days - systems.  I am in no
rush.

A good idea.  Way back when I saw many good programs fall by the wayside
due to hardcoded hardware related code.

Speaking for myself, it is because I figure out a way without having to
resort to things like DOSbox.  :-)

Again I figure it is because I am a sucker for punishment.

Yeah right.  Tell Mark for me, "You can keep it!!!"  

> So, it would appear that there is a zmodem for *nix?

Has been for over a decade now.  It was never a good idea and is less and
less of a good idea as time goes on.  There are much better ways.

What will happen when there aren't?

Life is good,
