I don't know if you'd consider the following to be "too much hassle", but ...
1) hook the 2 MACs together with a null-modem cable
2) run a communications program on both (either in a Switcher partition, or,
better, as a DA in the background - like BackDown, the background
Xmodem downloader, which is ShareWare)
VOILA !!!
