Another method is to use EETransfer with a terminal program like
hyperterminal (preinstalled on many PC systems) or any other terminal
program that can transfer using zmodem over serial port. It may be slow but
it is great for stubborn packages.

You don't need to install the entire suite to transfer packages, just the
main package and the terminal.
Also he could send you a backup of the entire store that the packages are
on, then you can restore them on your Newt and transfer the packages (if the
owner of Power Trans is getting frustrated and about to give up for
example). I would also be willing to help in this regard, contact me
off-list if interested.
