It can only transfer full files. CTM is the lightest load (on the client side), it even works well via email only. On the downside, it has a higher latency than sup or cvsup (currently ~ 6 hours or more). CVSup requires an on-line connection (which you have), and at the expense of some more load also on the client-side, it allows for an instant upgrade, like sup did too. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
