- The problem with downloading in the background is that is that the GS is
- probably not good enough to keep up the pace of the sender. Once while I
- was using sz in the background, even a simple ls command would cause the
- transfer to slow to a nearly unacceptable rate. This is ok for sending,
- because you're just making the receiver wait for you, but the sender won't
- wait when you're receiving!

- BTW, what's a good way to "transact" with my Unix account without leaving
- GNO? I tried TelCom, but its terminal emulation (sorry Jawaid) really
- sucks. Like it writes ^J when it gets ^J. It should perform the action,
- not display the character!
