Hmm. Are you using zmodem? It does give you a time estimate (continually
improved) when it is working correctly. You could also set up ppp and
just use ordinary services like ftp to move files around, which is what
you will probably want to do eventually if you are working on a MUD or
something like it. Try zmodem first though.

mind you don't break 'em. I won't eat a broken egg.
