It's interesting how I managed to cat all of NetBSD in uuencoded form to
a VAXstation 2000 without dropping a single character, while the
MicroVAX II couldn't not drop characters on a stream of input no matter
what I do.
Oh well.  I'll create a file transfer protocol to deal with this
horribly extreme form of brain damage.

BTW.  I suppose all these problems would go away if I used a port on the
DHV11, but it doesn't seem supported on the generic kernel...  and I can
only recompile on the MicroVAX II where I have the disk space.
