for most downloads all you need is a modem, a computer, and a communications
program suitable for downloading the software from the system you are
planning on using.  kermit and x/y/z/modem are the most common protocols
in the pc world.  uucp and ftp are used most commonly in the unix world.

in the case of zoo, it is available from any complete sources archive.

if you can't get to a sources archive for whatever reason, send a formatted
XENIX [ yes, XENIX ] floppy in a reusable mailer, along with return
postage [ stamps are best ], plus beer money ;-) to

nine-tracks work equally well, but the postage is a bit steep.
