I had some problem with macbput and layers before. But after a while, I
found that the problem only happens when I going through the indirect
connection (such as a terminal server, or rlogin from the one machine to
other). As long as I keep the connection directly, everything works fine. As
a matter of the fact, I just sent back a hqx file while I was typing this
article here. :-). I'm happy with layers and macbput. 

One little problem, I am having problem sending those xxx.sit_bin files with
macbput. Anyone knows how?
