Umm, EFI?

The server I am working on is in a remote data center and is hooked up
to a terminal server. I am accessing it over ssh.

I have teraterm that I can make an ssh connection, but it doesn't
support ymodem. Will zmodem or xmodem work?

If memdump.com can just dump its data over the serial port, I can
capture it with an ssh session under screen and send it to you, but I
don't see a way of getting a ymodem program in the stream using this
method.
