personally I think the easiest way is via ftp if the two machines are
hooked up via ethernet.  if you have ncsatelnet, you can run the mac
as an ftp server.  or you can simply tell fetch to ftp into your linux
box.  there's absolutely no point in converting things to ms-dos.  use
hfsutils on linux: hcd, hmount, hdir, hcopy etc.  if you don't have
them, you can find them at the usual linux ftp sites.  after all, if
there's mac around, it's probably a good idea to install them.  in the
long run it'll save time.

ciao,

g.y.
