Well, they don't talk about the "get" either...... but it works.

I still get odd stares when I talk to Livingston/Lucent people about it.
On the other hand, I can gang-upgrade a dozen PM3s in about 10 minutes with
a tool that I have that does this en-masse.

And unlike PMConsole, which I consider an aborted monstrosity, "tftp get"
has NEVER failed mid-stream and left me with a hosed and unbootable box.
