Cool. Too, NOAA has an ftp server (ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov) with
text, fax and even grib products. An ftp script is a good way to go
about getting any of those except for the gribs for the person who
wants to avoid web overhead but has some kind of connectivity. For
the gribs a chopper that just gives you the bits you want is very nice
for the bandwidth impaired. I use saildocs.com which is free but
requires an email account. The new viewfax is able to bypass the email
bit for that and organizes the products nicely. Anyway, I was
impressed.
