Hi all,
  I'm a neophyte unixer (Unich?) with what is probably a very simple
problem.  I've got my 040 slab here (running 2.0) and I've got some
nifty binaries I FTP'd on a remote host.  I can hook up to the host
ok through my modem using TIP, but I can't seem to transfer the files
from the host to my actual machine.  Mach doesn't seem to have the
programs that might be useful for this, I think their called xs and xr
for xmodem send and receive (?) so I'm stuck.  

 I'm sure I'm just missing something, but ~t, which the TIP man pages say you
use to take files from a remote host, doesn't seem to do much more than generate
a lot of muck on the screen.  (I've tried rawftp both on and off.)

 I hope this makes senes, it's really getting me down!  I'd use Kermit, but
that's what I'm trying to get!!  Here I am with all this great stuff in my
mainframe account and no software to get it to my micro where I can use it!

 Arrrgh! And thanks in advance,

  P.S. I checked the FAQ, so please don't ask.  Thanks.
