  if you got vms, then you got kermit (but ya gotta use space parity :),
and if you got a terminal then you have access to a serial port.  just
get into kermit on the vax, issue a send (receive) command, then unplug
the terminal line, plug it into the 48 and issue the receive (send) command.
it works like a charm, especially if you have an a/b switch hooked up.  i
do it all the time.
