	Speaking of FTP, has anyone implemented RESTart?  Restart requires MODE C
	(compressed), which is a simple repeated-byte-packing algorithm.  I
	checked radc-tops20's FTP server as well as several flavors of Unix FTP
	servers, and none of them support Compressed mode... :-(

Russ,

I am happy to say that this is WRONG!!  All that is required to send
Restart Markers is Block Mode, which is a trivial byte count header shlunked
into the stream whenever the sender feels like it ... eg when it wants to
send a Restart Marker.
