Subject: Wow! What's with this neat FTP program?

I just had the first opportunity to use NetBSD-mac68k with my modem
(thanks for the tip on local intead of clocal, it works like a charm).
Anyway, I ftp'ed a file from puma (an old version of lynx that I compiled,
ironically), and for the first time, was exposed to NetBSD's ftp program
on console.  At least in -current, it has a really neat progress bar at
the bottom of the screen while it downloads.  That's _really_ convenient,
and I was wondering if that version of ftp is available in a standalone
package by somebody as sources that would copile under MkLinux/Linux-pmac.
I'd really love to have that capability on the two poweracs I run linux
on.  :-)

If I have to pull it from the NetBSD-current source tree, has anybody ever
tried it on anything other than NetBSD, before I go to the trouble?
