I am using it right now.  But it depends on having both rzsz and kermit
already installed (rzsz yes, kermit huh?)  Works like a champ, except
I am running a kernel with pcvt and the little boxes around the popup
windows appear to be hard coded for another console driver ('q' and 'x'
characters  outline the windows instead).

Good luck.
