I work in embedded system design for telecom equip and have for the past 10 years. I
haven't heard of anyone using it in that capacity. Typically we see people using some
flavor of xmodem or ymodem, but I admit I'm unfamiliar with how things might be
deployed in a network environment (since theres basically unlimited ways to architect a
network), or what other manufacturers do.

That's not what I was talking about. How about a more modern application?
Talking to console ports, for one. Anyone who does any sort of real networking work has
to do that all the time. Ditto for nearly any embedded systems work. These aren't
exactly shrinking fields.
