We would like to backup some Mac II's through the serial port.  The
serial port is connected through a 9600 baud telecommunications
network to a Unix system (Sun).  Right now we use Versaterm for
ordinary communications, and transfer single files back and forth
using the old "Mac Xmodem" protocol in Versaterm and the public domain
Unix programs "macput" and "macget".

But what we'd like to be able to do is have the Mac transmit an entire
directory (and its subdirectories recursively) to the Unix host.
Similarly, we'd like to be able to easily copy an entire directory and
its subdirectories back to the Mac.

Does anybody know of software capable of doing this?  It doesn't have
to be shareware stuff; cost is no object :-) if it's simple and robust.

Please send me email directly.
