I am looking for a way to transfer ascii text files between a PDP-8
running OS-8 and an IBM PC (running MSDOS).

I use kermit to transfer between other machines (Unix, RSTS, Macintosh, IBM,
etc) and am wondering if there exists such a program for the PDP 8?

Or, alternately, how else can I do it?  Has anyone done this?  I would
welcome any help I can get.

Please, no remarks like why would anyone want to do that and do PDP-8's
really still exist, etc.  No flames please. only constructive advice.
