Yes,

        That's where I got stuck. It was only me sitting at the lake 10.3 box 
(That's
at Lake Nacogdoches, 20 miles away from home) dialed into my home server (In
Nacogdoches) with nobody on the other end of the connection accept my server:

Home (Nobody)               Lake (Me)
_____________              ______________
             |            |
10.3 server  |<---------->| 10.3 client
             | Modem Conn.|

        I think this is where Phillip's post provides the solution. My problem 
was
there was nobody at "home" to initiate the file send.

        It was late, but I still felt pretty dumb being stumped my the serial
connection send problem. I really makes you appreciate the ppp connection at
times like this. Establish the ppp connection over dialup and then everything
else, (dns, ssh, etc..) just works.

        I'll give rzsz a shot and see how it works. Thanks Phillip, Carlos, 
Patrick.
