[explanation of ultrix-dos-mac deleted]
You know, I presume, that if your Mac is on the ethernet (or on
localtalk bridged to the ethernet and you're running NCSA telnet
under Mac OS) that you can ftp directly to/from your Mac.
Also, you can kermit directly to/from your mac, if you have a
serial connection to your ultrix box.
Finally, it is often possible to exchange Unix tar/cpio floppies with
A/UX, if you have a SuperDrive [which presumably you do, otherwise
you wouldn't be able to read your DOS disks with AFE.]

Yes, Access PC and DOS Mounter both allow you to do this, for example.

No, unless your Macintosh file is of type TEXT, in which case it will
be "converted" to Unix text when you drag it across to the Unix
filesystem.
