Hey, that's cool.  I didn't intend to sound mean or anything.
Just wanted to make sure you got the info I sent you.
Some people have been reporting missing posts, etc.,
on this newsgroup.

Yup.  AWGS' terminal module should work fine.  It is
limited to xmodem, but that's enough to get your files.  The
IIGS also has better commecial stand alone programs
that support Zmodem and TCP/IP, but you don't really
need those unless you want Zmodem's error checking
or TCP/IP for connecting the IIGS to the internet.

That's reasonable.  The machine only becomes fully
usable with a hard drive, though.

Good luck!  Good IIGS computing!
