L.S.

; I am interested in having my 1186s speak to each other over our local 
; thin-net (ethernet).  Using the TFTP code from the TCP/IP library package, 
; I am able to preform "trivial" gets and puts; however, I am not able to get 
; remote directories.  I would like to have these machines sharing their 
; harddisks in a reasonable fashion.  For example, it would be nice to store 
; a clean loops sysout on one machine, rather than on all four, etc.

I am using the PUP FTPSERVER under Lyric for fetching sysouts with the
systemtool and using one machine as fontfileserver.

The ftpserver occasionally breaks with a HELP message (just enter an
up-arrow), and one cannot open more than one file at a time, but the setup
works most of the time.
