Well, you may be asking the question about SCO, but the answer applies to FreeBSD as well, so I might as well answer here (I don't answer privately unless you pay me :-) Basically, you have the choice of network or mass storage. I gather you don't have a tape either, so you're going to have to create a network. I assume they *do* have serial ports. With SCO, uucp is probably the best choice, though it might be easy enough to set up ppp. Still, you might find it easier to bite the bullet and use floppy, especially if you compress the data.
