If your modem is fairly reliable, you can

1.  Download a BinHex'd file (file.hcx or file.hqx) by just telling
your terminal emulation program to "capture incoming text".

2.  Convert your Binhex'd file into an application via Binhex 5.0

To send your information the other way, you need Binhex *4.0* to
*make* a binhex file on your macintosh.  Then you can upload it as
text.  I'd double check to make sure the data is good before you post
anything, though.
