Yes.  Use zmodem - the fastest serial transfer method I have ever seen.
On a 9600BPS connection, I get > 940 CPS always! 
I got it up and running with no problems, but I don't remember which site 
I grabbed it from.  My ftp-list file shows it at ames.arc.nasa.gov and
trix.ai.mit.edu.  On the mac side, get the zmodem program, available at
sumex-aim.stanford.edu:info-mac/comm, or any mac repository.  Its so easy
you will shout with glee when you see it work.  The Mac zmodem program 
watches for a command sequence from the remote host which sends it into
receive mode automatically.  So lets say you have a directory full of files
you want to send to the mac from your sgi; just cd to wherever and type
sz *  - and thats it! You even get an realtime analysis of the throughput
achieved.   Pardon me if I sound excited, but after 5 years of getting
340 CPS on a 9600BPS connection with kermit, I feel justified.
Anyway, if you don't want to browse for the source, I can send you a working
copy of what we've got.  I'm running IRIX 3.3.2 on a 340VGX.
