For those interested,

I connect into an ARPA TAC here in the Dallas area and connect to USC-ECLB
where I have an account.  I have been able to transfer .HEX and .DL files
without problems.  But .RSRC file transfer had been out of reach.
I formed a question and mailed to info-mac but it was either never
received or never posted.  Maybe this message will make it onto the
BBoard.

I have figured out how to transfer executable images up and down through
an ARPA TAC.  I call into the local TAC at 1200 baud, 8-bits, no parity.

The commands that you must give the TAC are:

@B O S
@B I S

I do not know what it does, however it does work.  Macintosh Kermit can 
transfer 8 bit data after executing this command.  Note that @B I S causes 
the '@' to lose any significance so this must be the last command that 
you execute.  Also,  nothing else must be done.  No special commands to 
kermit, at either end.  When you logout from the host at the other end of 
the TAC the '@' regains its significance.
