silly me, the above doesn't work, the uudecode should happen on your
Mom's machine! try this instead:

     # cat <<EOF >/tmp/getit
     echo 'sleep 1 && uuencode -m /path/to/ppp.deb -'
     uudecode -o /tmp/ppp.deb
     EOF

Side Note:
for some reason this won't work if you leave out the `-m',
complains about missing `end' line. Anyone care to explain?
