There is a Mac version of tar, but it doesn't understand MacBinary format.
If you are sending BinHex or other text files across, tar works great.
If not, you might want to switch to zterm and sz (actually, I've
had lots of trouble with zterm quitting after transferring files, and
it doesn't really do well on color screens).

Maybe the author of Mac tar is listening and will add this capability?
