I guess I wasn't so clear when I suggested curl on a Terminal session as a way 
to go.  It's when you use Finder's GO_Connect to (ftp) server that you can't do 
it. You can drag and drop downloaded files but the other way is a no-no.

No OS 10 systems support  support serial comm over what were called RS-232 or 
RS-422 wiring.

USB dongles apparently work but I'm not sure how one addresses them in the 
system.

I once promised, but haven't done it.  Sigh  I think modern Apples still have 
telephone modem capability for the likes of sending FAXes.  It should be 
possible to communicate with old macs using that modem to talk to an old Hayes 
or Global Village modem plugged into the RS-422 serial port of a low end Mac.  
One would need basic modem software for the Mac but that's still around 
somewhere.
