I have approximately fifty macpaint documents that I need to transfer
from my mac to a Vax running BSD4.2.  What is the best method?

I have tried MacTerminal plus the macput/get vax programs.  Everything works,
but it is painful because you have to mouse around for each xfer. I would
prefer a less operator-intensive method.

My other options are:
	The new kermit.  I have it but I haven't unpacked it and downline
loaded it.  (I have kermit running on the Vax.) Will kermit solve my problem?
	The latest RedRyder.  Again I have a copy on my Vax, but I haven't
yet taken the trouble to move it to my mac.  Will Red solve my problem.
	Will packit help?  I understand that packit can pack and unpack
files on the mac.  Is there a matching Unix util? Does anyone have the spec
for a packed packit doc?  Could I pack up gobs of files on my mac, make one
long xfer to the vax, and then unpack on Unix?

Are there any other options that I should consider?
