Dan, Columbia University puts out a Kermit file transfer package for just
this sort of thing, and they have the sources available for most any type
of OS on any type of computer, including BSD 4.x and and IBM PC running
MS-DOS, Unix, Xenix or whatever. These packages have a server (slave) function
and a host (master) function. All of this is available on at least a couple
different types of media, MAG-TAPE, FLOPPY, ect... for $100.00, this is
basically the media and transfer fees only...
You can get a hold of this stuff by calling or writing to:
	Kermit Distribution
	Columbia University Center of Computing Activities
	612 West 115th Street
	New York, New York  10025
	(212) 280-1754
If all else fails, send me mail and I will try to get the stuff to you...
