	When you say dial manually, do you mean no automated dialing on
	your modem?  If your modem auto-dials, you can use uucp to transfer
	ascii or binary files, depending on the number of connections 
	between you and the stuff.

	'tip' is shipped with the NeXT, and has file-transfer capability
	(see the man page).  Best would be to have someone uuencode the
	binary and mail it to you, or even better, send them an OD to put
	it on.
