Actually, up until VERY recently the only possble way to download
stuff was by saving to disk first, then downloading with Zmodem (doesn't
say anything about sz/etc.). Both ways don't work anyways. Haven't tried
kermit in a while though, as it is extremely slow on my 28.8 (700-ish
cps, I think) as well as anything else. I also was just able to get SLIP
running under dip, and ftp-ing (as well as unzipping) was not a problem.

Like I said, they JUST made the fix. I don't know the exact address of
the admin of the site though, but I think e-mailing to
helpdesk@mail.coin.missouri.edu (user help)would be enough.

From here, I can't directly enter ftp URLs period - I have to edit my
bookmark file to enter a site. But no problems with downloading, at
least on the surface (I think they're running a Sparc 2 and maybe
another Sun, w/ sysV.
I'll try downloading with Kermit or Ymodem, and then I'll try Seyon
(does anybody have a fix for it to work at 115.2????). Maybe this is a
minicom bug.....
