Kirk,

We had our PDP 11 connected to the department LAN. We transferred listmode
FACS files by ftp to other computers on the LAN.
If you don't have the computer networked, your best shot is probably to
transfer the files over an RS232 serial line, PDP <==> Mac, using Kermit.
Kermit is available for the Mac and there are a few versions for the PDP
11; depends on which operating system you are running. I would imagine you
are using RT-11.

I used to do PDP <==> IBM Pc, using Kermit, before we set up our LAN. This
always worked fine though if you have lots of data it might take a while!

Hope this helps,
Leon.
