Why? If binary mode doesn't work, something's broken. ASCII mode is for
transferring ASCII files--a file full of 0s isn't what I'd consider
ASCII :) (although I suppose you could say it's a file full of ASCII
NULs :)
In any case, I don't have a NetBSD 1.5/i386 machine, or a Windows ME
machine to test with, but I did try it between NetBSD-current/alpha and
Windows NT 4.0, and everything worked as expected with binary mode.
