RT> Any INet connection at all? Just email at this point, and the connection I use (thanks to a guy who happens to run a unix box at home) seems to choke on larger files. Like the time a couple of folks decided to try and send me the Opera browser (5-6M!) and DR-DOS (lots of 1.44M floppy-sized images). A couple of hundred K should probably get through okay, though it may take more than one attempt on my part to pull it in. Something about a timing problem between my system and my uplink, no problems from there on out. Try incoming%tanstaaf@frackit.com, and drop a note to me at roy.j.tellason%tanstaaf@frackit.com to let me know it's coming as I don't ordinarily look at that directory too often.
