Being a relative novice in the telecommunications area, this may be a stupid 
question, but is 'anonymous FTP' something that we, in the CP/M world can 
participate in directly.  Most of the modem telecommunications software that
I know of supports XMODEM protocol, and of course, there is KERMIT, which
has its own protocol.  I thought FTP was a separate and distinct protocol.
Do we need to have the FTPing done thru a *nix system, or can we FTP with a
CP/M system?  If someone knows the answer to this, I would appreciate
hearing what it is.  Thanks.
