Yeah. I missed the part about Zterm. "kermit" is the answer to the
wrong question.

I used to use Zterm to download _from_ a FreeBSD machine over modem to
a Mac, but I got bothered by the fact that Zterm would hang up the
phone whenever you opened a menu. Zmodem was nice, in that you could
resume downloading an interrupted transfer, except that you often
ended up with a corrupted file. PPP-Ftp-Telnet are just so much nicer.
