I got fink installed and didn't find ncftp but did find nethack and got nethack installed using fink. What I found helped ease the installation process was to edit the default fink name down to Fink.dmg first. Then going into terminal I did command-option-downarrow once to interact with text and then did cd desktop <cr> open Fink.dmg <cr> After that finder got itself a new window. So moving over into that window I selected the fink-intel-installer.pkg file and opened it with command-o. I checked the windows out as they came up but instead of tabbing forward before selecting I back-tabbed with shift-tab onto each continue button and the agree button before selecting them to do the install. For whatever reason that prevented voiceover from freaking out on the volume selection window. Once the package was installed successfully I closed the installer using its button and went back into terminal mode to search for ncftp and when I didn't find that searched for nethack and just did fink install nethack to install it. I got asked for my password and keyed in the one I always used to install software then got asked about modifying groups and agreed to that and the package got downloaded and set up. I did a fink validate and fink cleanup and those seem to have forced an update. So far there's 1,722 packages available on the server to date.
