Conversely, how might I transfer flat text files from the 9000 to my
3000 WITHOUT any network connectivity?  Can I set up a UNIX workstation
and attach serially to my 3000?  If so I could be on my 9000 network
and be connected to the 3000 via a serial connection - that should
leave the file xfer burden on my emulation/file xfer software, right?!
 
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
