There's a unix ftp-style client that allows you to use your serial port
to transfer files and do other file-system-oriented things with a zoomer.
It's called xtoz - I'm not certain where you can find it, but if you go
looking with archie or lycos it's sure to turn up. I've used it under
linux and it works very well.

Now if only there was a way to run yarn on a zoomer ...
