You can use Kermit in binary mode to send files from your XXXX machine to 
your ST.  It works really well.  In fact, when I got the latest version
of Uniterm (V20c 009, I think), It took almost no time to uudecode it and 
unarc it on the VAX 8650.  The thing that took the longest time was 
downloading it to my ST at 19600 baud (It's connected directly to 
the dataswitch).

later,

Maurice
