	I was wondering if there was an easier way to do what I do.  If I want
to download a file from, for example, sumex, I ftp it to my unix host, a Sun
something or other, via a terminal at school.  Then I drive home and crank
up the old 1200 baud modem  (usually at 300 baud because the connection stinks) and wait around for hours at a time while Kermit slogs its way through the file.
With this talk of NCSA telnet, is there a better way?
	I don't have ethernet access to the Sun that I know of.  
	This is a huge problem with big (300+ Kb) files which take hours
to download.
	Any help is appreciated.
