George,

Your best bet is to transfer the data to a PC over a serial port. You'll
have to figure out how to open the files from Tnix and send them to a
serial port hooked to a PC with a null modem cable. You would then
collect them with a program on the other end.

This will vary in difficulty based on what the data is (binary or text?)
and what kind of programming or file transfer tools Tnix offers you.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you need further help.
