Thank you antinode.
Am just in the process of following the thread and downlaoding the file and TFTP client for my Mac Powerbook.
Fingers crossed.

   Keep reading. There should be no reason to download any TFTP client
program; just use the command-line TFTP client which is already on the
Mac:

      pro3$ type tftp
      tftp is /usr/bin/tftp

   So, marking the thread as "solved" was premature.
