If I recall correctly, the last Sun machine I ever bought didn't even come with ftp(1). I had to find a
Solaris binary of ftp and transfer it to the box with kermit, of all things. Then once I had the ftp
client, I could download hundreds of packages from sunfreeware.com.

But hey, at least the patches for Solaris don't come on those VHS-sized tapes like they used to.
