Ftp download would also be useful. My partner has two ftp sites that
cannot be accessed by direct dial or telnet, from which he would like to
download files that he puts on at school.

But since we have more than 8M RAM we can run Kermit's ftp in /tmp. (I
may use Kermitfile transfer today, from /tmp, today to retrieve mail from
a shell account that has no incoming ftp, since I have only the RAMdisk
bl2 on this DOS computer, and none of my DOS diallers are working any
more. Or I could put the mail attachments into my web directory and use
wget or links. Or use lynx in /tmp and access webmail, which links won't
do without ssl.)

I think BL1 includes ftp. It is nice to have so many choices of linuxes
that will run in ram.
