Bob Supnik's emulator is a fine emulator, but it's not the same
sort of all-purpose tool that PUTR is for dealing with certain file
systems.

You've got a console port, right? That's all you need!

See ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/b/krt.doc for full installation
instructions.

Too bad you suffered through so many years without realizing what
a wonderful took Kermit is. It's available for just about every
computer platform there is (or was), and can deal with communications
channels that X/Y/ZMODEM will just stare blankly at (for example,
one-way-at-a-time async channels common on IBM mainframes). Even
better, it can be just as fast or faster than ZMODEM. I use it just
about every day to move data between RT-11, RSX-11, CP/M, VMS, Unix,
MS-DOS, OS/8, etc...
