Oh, well....of course Earle...'kermit' makes up just fine for the lack
of an adequate backup system for A/UX.  I just LOVE backing up 300MB
of hard disk with 'kermit'.  And moving the X distribution to A/UX
with 'kermit'...why, thats only 45MB at 2400 baud...why would ANYONE 
want to use a tape drive for that...

You sent 2MB once?  Some of us move 2MB files around most every day.
And we DO care how long it takes.  I can see it now: walk in to work
at 9am and tell the boss "Gee, boss...I'm going to take a few hours
of pleasure 'cause I have to transfer a file to my A/UX machine..."
Yea, right...

At least we can ethernet them to machines with a real backup
capability...
