That is exactly what I plan on doing when I get around to ordering a
LANceGS card.

I had a great idea for an FTP client type thing for the IIgs but Geoff
Weiss pointed out some flaws in it that I hadn't considered and they
will be extremely difficult to impossible to get around but I might
change the way the client works slightly just to make doing FTP on the
IIgs more convenient.

Don't ask me my method, though, as I'm keeping it under wraps for now
(although some people do know about it) and I can't even tell you when
I'll get around to starting the code for this as I have a bunch of
software sitting here waiting for me to finish it.  :-)
