xterm binary ascii transfer

i have a crude remote system with an ethernet connection but no real network software (ftp, ssh, nfs). i have access to the machine via an xterm session. is there a way to transfer binary files through such a channel ?

i managed manually to send binary files encoded as hex values using od. pasted them into the xterm buffer and decoded with the printfs on the target system. it did work, but was slow and tedious. is there a way to automate it ? zmodem or any serial protocol operating on the clipboard ? .
