	My toes are fine. :-)
	Perhaps if we're getting a lot of these sorts of questions we should
add answers in the FAQ, e.g. pointers to Net::Ftp docs and ncftp. Seems

problems esp. in regards to poorly behaved ttys have since been fixed.

	When the economy improves a little we should have an Expectperl
gathering at a perl conference. Then I'll take you up on the offer. :-)
