I believe that you must perform line-feed to carriage-return
conversion when going from the Amiga to the Macintosh.  The Amiga uses
LF as a line terminator, while the Mac uses CR.  Kermit will
automatically perform this translation.  If you use a straight text
dump, you will have to write a small program on one of the machines to
perform the translation.
