Hi Tim,

  Well, I'm sshing to a computer that has
broadband--I'm on dialup myself, and then trying to
connect from there. The only commaand line ftp client
I could find was sftp. I am a newbie, so I don't
really know any other way. 

I did try lynx, but it didn't recognise .isos as
something to download, it tried to open them as text.

I appreciate any suggestions. I'll try wget too, I
guess.
