	Oye yaar, kya kar raha hai......

	on modem either you run ppp/slip, or if you used minicom likes 
things simple zmodem etc. ppp/slip give you full IP connectivity ( so 
you can do *everything* you can do on Internet ). for this, you need 
pppd on both sides running. 
	if you used minicom like things, you need mgetty running at server 
end, and u can use rz / sz etc to transfer files.

	ftp/tftp/http/xxxtp are over tcp/udp, which is over ip/ which may be 
over ppp/slip ( over null serial cable/parallel cable/phone 
line/isdn), or over network ( ethernet / atm  ) etc.

	phew, did i got it right ......
