  24. I prefer to use the ftp program here on my ISP's Unix server, 
  25. and get the stuff to my account there, using the fast backbone.
  26. Then, at my leisure, I can download to home using the modem.
  27. I'd hate to have a net-wide transfer depending on modem speeds, 
  28. line noise, etc.
