I have been using two programs that seem to work very well in downloading
files off a FIDO or TBBS system.

I'm currently using Chuck Forsberg's PRO-YAM communication program for
general terminal emulation. (on SCO Xenix)  It has the basic xmodem protocol
built into this package.  For fancier file transfers, I use Chuck's ZMODEM
RZ & SZ programs.

Chuck can be reach via:
