	There are three packages for the mac that I know of that support YMODEM
file transfers. Red Ryder 10.3, VersaTerm/VersaTerm Pro, and MicroPhone II. NOw
I would suggest against Red Ryder since its YMODEM implementation is know to be
non-standard and only works in one direction (the opposite one that you need, 
too..).  However either of the other packages will od the trick for you.
	I would recommend MicroPhone II as the package of choice as you will find
it a VERY NICE communications package as it also supports Kermit transfers 
which VersaTerm does not. It also does lots of other things too, but I'll save
those for another message.

(Disclamier: I am currently working for Software Ventures, and therefore have
a vested interest in MicroPhone II)

MicroPhone II from Software Ventures has this feature (I wish my UN*X box
did!).

Versaterm definitely does support Kermit, Xmodem, and Ymodem.
