As it turns out, my workplace uses <shudder> NT boxes for client systems.
(Except for me - my desktop has a FreeBSD box and an HP-UX box on it, which
are better for accessing our NetBSD servers, which do all our real work.)

For secure access, the NT folks all using SecureCRT from VanDyke. For some
unfortunate reason, VanDyke didn't implement scp functionality, but they
*do* support zmodem through their ssh link. Go figure.
