     Why don't you use the serial port?  A/UX comes with Kermit.  It
is a relatively simple matter to tell Kermit to listen to the modem
port, then put it in "server" mode.  If you are uploading programs
from a Mac to A/UX, then MacKermit will "send all files in the current
folder" if you tell it to, and your A/UX Kermit in server mode will
be happy to receive them.

     I once sent a 2 Mb file over a 2400 baud modem line.  I don't
know how long it took, nor do I care, because I took off for a real
night of pleasure once the transfer started...

     This is an interesting theory.  Anybody at Apple know whether
this is what it means?
