I'm having a senior moment. I remember having diskettes with ham software 
and so forth for CP/M that weren't included in the Osborne package. How 
did I get them? XMODEM? I don't remember ftp being used. Some things like 
BDS C I bought and they would have come with floppies but there was a lot 
of public domain stuff.
