I need help making a binary file transfer using a UNIX 
machine thay's not on a network, but connects to isps via
a modem/shell interface. I've tried 

tip tty00 and have all successful terminal connections
using a modem. What other methods are available for
using a UNIX OS that's not a network and how do they
/are they run with respect to the command line interface?
Can uucp do this without a network connection? How?

I need to download a binary file via modem. Help! Thanks!
