I don't know yet. As I said in an earlier post, the empeg is not connected to the network right now. I should see how easy setting up PPP over the serial link is.

Anyways, the Debian root tar has top inside. An example of running it shows:

I will run it at home with a ftp session running.
Hrm. It looks like I need to set the time zone environment variable.
