Well, here I am following up my own query! Anyway, this was suggested
already, we tried it, and we are now using it a standard practice.
The terminal emulator package we are using on the Mac is called
SmartCom II, and it supports xmodem (MacBinary) just fine. We have 
a copy of xmodem we got out of comp.sources.unix some time ago which
also works just fine. This has been a boon to us since now we don't have
to worry about keeping track of Mac floppies when we archive our documents.
And we also skip the extra conversion process of BinHex to boot. Good
way to go, if you need this type of solution. Thanks to all who responded!
