We are using the sx app to transfer files over a dial-up line (for
Windows victims who have to use the in-built terminal prog).

This works fine....for small binaries.  It downloads the first 1132544
bytes and then locks up and after about a dozen retries it drops
the line.

(the link is via a telnet session with a router stuffed in the middle).
