I've used CTRM to upload and download binary files between my PS/2 and UNIX.
CTRM is public domain software using the Kermit protocol.  It emulates a
HP-2621.  Anyway, I got a copy of (PC)vi from someone and decided to
experiment.  I uploaded it to UNIX and downloaded it to another file.
It worked just fine.

To get something from this newsgroup, I would try the following:
Start CTRM and hit alt-D to download.
For the filename, type
/usr/spool/netnews/comp/binaries/ibm/pc/d/<article#>

Hope this helps.
