I saw this in comp.sys.zenith.z100 and would like to comment on it:

I have been looking for a BETTER xmodem package for our Unix systems.  Now that
it seems available, it isn't.  I think the archives on SIMTEL20 are great . . .

If I could only have access to them!  There are still some of us in the world
that are NOT connected to the Internet (sigh . . .) and therefore have NO 
access to all of the wonderful things on it (like SIMTEL20 or Columbia 
(Kermit)).

Could some kind soul(?) PLEASE post some of these programs of importance?  

Look, no flames . . . just frustration . . .
