What primitive tools you Unix people are stuck with.... the DOS uudecode
automatically puts those parts together if you've chosen the correct name...
and the uuencode automatically splits them into files the right size to post!

Too bad Unix hasn't kept up with the "REAL" world... :-)

Modems????  Are you refering to those primitive telecomunication devices
invented in the dark ages of computing????

Egads man, haven't you heard of TCP/IP???
or even direct connection????
