I have used XferIt with good results. It is available from anon ftp
at msdos.archive.umich.edu and/or mondo.engin.umich.edu.
It has some annoying features (redraws its windows every few
minutes, etc) but its graphical interface is intuitive.
It runs over MacTCP. (I normally run NCSA Telnet 2.3 with 3-4
Unix sessions open, POPMail, XferIt, NewsWatcher and MacX at
the same time in a Mac IIci with little hassle).
Oh, XferIt and NewsWatcher are shareware.
