I keep intending to look into XModem file software for OSX for file transfers to Apple][s and early Macs. I hope there's a good thread or two on this forum to help.

It's easy to miss in a thread that seems to wander around a bit, but did you see this post? Napbar has successfully used ZTerm & XModem protocols to send Mac binary files directly from OS X to a classic Mac running MacTerminal. This is based on the method I have been using with a Keysapn serial adapter to transfer data from a MacBook/Tiger running Sheepshaver and Clarisworks/MacTerminal 1.1 to a 128K Mac using MacTerminal 1.1. Of course this method is a bit slower than AppleTalk, but considering the average file size on a 128K through SE, that's not a huge problem.

All right, Mac128, I got my Keyspan serial adapter today! I have some good news! I was able to send files from my iMac with 10.6 and ZTerm to my LC using MacTerminal 2.2. I was also able to pull files from my iDisk and iPhone, as well as send files from MacTerminal to the same places respectively. In ever case, the resource fork came through!

This is good news!
