If it is playing tricks with telnet is it still going to be able to
download if I go to ground or wherever. I remember being on the Calgary
freenet and trying to download after a trip though a telnet. 7-bits
really does not help a SHK archive! Does it try and open a ftp or what?
Anybody tried this? (for that matter does it open a z-modem to get it
there?) Or is this simply a viewer and I still need to log into my
account to download files?
