Subject: Communications program info wanted

I would like to be able to access all the goodies available on MIT-MC.
I have an Osborne I, and am running the PLINK program from MC, which enables
me to transfer text files (not binary).  I can ftp from MC to my local host.
Question:
       which files should I get to enable me to up/download arbitrary
files from my local host (VAX780/Berkeley UNIX4.1) to the Osborne?
I believe there are various flavors of a program called MODEM which fit
the bill.  I also presume I will need a program to run at the host end
(I think UMODEM, but I am not sure).  BAsically, which files should I
download from MC in order to accomplish transfers (a mated pair, one for
VAX, one for Osborne)?  .ASM files would be my best bet, but .HEX is
probably OK for the Osborne, and C/pascal for the VAX.  .COM files are out.
Any info will be appreciated.
