I don't know if you'd consider the following to be "too much hassle", but ...

1)  hook the 2 MACs together with a null-modem cable

2) run a communications program on both (either in a Switcher partition, or,
        better, as a DA in the background - like BackDown, the background
        Xmodem downloader, which is ShareWare)

VOILA !!!
