Or any other Unix box, for that matter... I once had a version of Xmodem which
I couldn't get to slow down to 2400 bps, so now I have to use Kermit -- easy,
but _sloooowww_.

Speaking of using Kermit to download Amiga files, I have a question.  I use
Diga! to connect to my LAN and then to my school's Vax.  To do this I must 
set Diga! to 7E1.  But from what I can figure, Kermit uses 8N1.  Hence, I 
can't transfer binaries right, since the high bit keeps getting stripped 
(even when I set Diga! to "Binary" mode).  So for now, I have to uuencode
everything I download and then uudecode it on Amy.  Maybe I'm lazy, but this
process sure is a pain in the neck.  Anybody know an easier way?  (I'm hoping
that another protocol will let me up/download at 7E1 and thus eliminate the
problem.)

Better yet, post it to the net.  Please?
