I use a Mac with Red Ryder 10.3 connected to an HP360 workstation via
one of the serial ports and that is how I send and receive mail,
e-mail etc. I am actually connected to a VAX cluster as well (via the
other serial port) and I have auto logon procedures written for all of
my connections. Basically, the Mac works as a VT100 terminal, allowing
me to use the workstation as a host, so I can run rn, Emacs etc., as
well as doing file transfers both directions.
I believe that Freesoft, who wrote Red Ryder, have superceded it with
White Knight, which is apparently even better. The prices I have seen
are generally under $100 (discount mail-order) and I would say the
package would do all you want, and more. You do, of course, need an
account on the UNIX host and access to a serial port on it.

Hope this helps!
