such as ftp...?

Ha ha, well, it means I'm continuously connected so long as I am dialed in via
the 56K modem.  Otherwise it's disconnected, far as I'm concerned, even though
the cable is still linked in.  One-way cable modem access, for those who don't
know, is simply a download route.  Uploads go through regular dial-up modems.
I figure that's half and half.  :-)

I'm not doing anims very often, so these values are mainly 'accidental'

*Sell* them?!? Why would he do that? :-)
That's an impressive collection...I've got an Apple IIe, Mac Plus, 
Macintosh Performa 475, a G3 desktop and a G3 tower.

Lets hope you don't have to wait much longer...

Well, the text version should be pretty easy to port to OS X, just 
porting from a Unix-like system to a BSD Unix system...(this from 
someone who can't get POV to build...)
