 True, however we haven't (or at least I haven't) figured out yet whether
 Winston is able to use telnet and/or ftp clients on his PC over TCP/IP
 (SLIP/PPP), or if he is running them on the Gateway machine over dialup.

 The Gateway must be a SLIP/PPP server in order to telnet/ftp from his
 PC directly to his Internet bbs.

 There is an old version (Demon, bignet or largenet?) of KA9Q with an
 rlogin (telnet) with built-in zmodem, but I couldn't get it to work.
