Xterm may have a problem in that it expects to the binary to be in the 
tftp home directory (ie it is doing a get testfile, rather than get 
/tftpboot/testfile).  Other versions of tftp (Sun) allow a "-s" option which 
makes the tftpboot directory the tftp home directory - I'm currently 
looking for the source for this verison...
