Speaking of which, despite all the time I've spent on USENET and the 
amount of time I've had my //GS, I've never actually had to use XMODEM
protocol or whatever.

I've finally discovered .apple2 and I've been wanting to download a bunch
of stuff, but FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN'T GET THE UNIX xmodem programs
to talk to either ZLink (which I just downloaded today) or Mousetalk.

I have a quick-and-dirty unix script to cat me chunks of the Binscii'd
files and its works, but I'd really like to use XMODEM or KERMIT or
something.  Do you know how long it takes to do this stuff with a 
capture buffer 400 lines at a time?  Do you?

All I want is to make that protocol stuff work.  I figure I'm just doing
something plainly stupid and silly.  So email me.

Anyway, PLEASE help me, someone, anyone.

Peace.

You can't always depend on people to do the right thing or the wrong thing,
          but you can always count on them to do the stupid thing
