Apparently, the copy of Agate I looked at earlier was indeed a beta test
version.  I have since acquired the latest release from the Tybalt.Caltech.Edu
ftp site and it's much, much better.

It supports Ymodem and Zmodem (YES ! ZMODEM !) downloads.  No uploads.

It is supposed to support VT-100 emulation but our VAX system here was unable
to recognize it as such.  It must support ANSI but not be re-programmable like
a VT-100.

I've used it to download several files using Zmodem and it works very well
and very fast.  -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --

Look in the pub/apple2/uploads directory of the Tybalt.Caltech.Edu
ftp site.  It is a .SHK file so make sure you set your file type to BINARY
or the shrinkit archive will be corrupted.

I'm also posting a Binscii'd version to Comp.Binaries.Apple2.

BTW : I'm awaiting info on Modem MGR (it's commercial software) which may
      support Zmodem uploads ...
