In fact sending and receiving plain text is a common use case. In particular it's important for bootstrapping a TPDD client.
That and the existence of tsdos ROM and REX is why I've never added a bootstrap injector to LaddieAlpha. Plain text is not related to FTP though. Ftp is a file transfer protocol based on TCP/IP. And there is no TCP implementation for the model 100 as far as I know. If you want to serve files as plain ascii one way would be to put Linux getty on a serial port and connect to that with TELCOM. Set capture and cat the file. -- John. > >
