I don't know if there exists a mirror of the FBSD distribution on a site that supports anonymous Kermit users, but C-Kermit 6.x and MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 and up support REGET of binary files (which takes up where your previous transfer puked, mid-file), which could be useful if you find such a site. (Kermit isn't slow, either, despite popular myth/FUD from zmodem proponents. You do have to configure it for speed, though--RTFM.) Troy Smith
