Unfortunately, this is the only Unix box on the network
and I do not have administrator access to Novell.  My
FreeBSD box is kind of a rogue server in a hostile 
Novell/WinNT environment.

Someone suggested wget from the ports collection.  I'll
try that.  Otherwise, I've decided to write a script
that tar's "bite-sized" chunks of my file system to
files, then ftp those files to remote WinNT machines
for safe keeping.  

Not the best backup scheme in the world.  Maybe I can
convince them to buy a tape backup for a couple 
hundred bucks?
