No, he means hhcp.  Hhcp is a program implementing NIFTP
("network-independent file transfer protocol").  Unfortunately, it
doesn't implement it well enough for 8-bit transfers to work.

The problem does not exist with the (free) unix-niftp software, and
possibly not with more recent versions of hhcp.
