Re: file upload?

One option is to implement the XMODEM protocol in the console client.  
However I found this option to not work very well over TCP/IP.  
Consider that 50% of the traffic is in-band and the other is out-of-
band.  But it is doable.  

I might investigate this myself.  XMODEM is the easiest but ASCII would 
be even easier.  

On console of Sun Box:

uuencode binFile BinFile > binFile.uue
cat binFile.uue

Then somehow on the console.c capture the data?
