In our lab we had packet conflicts with some Macintosh broadcast
packets, but in an isolated network (ours was in a huge corporate-wide
net) Limnet[tm] worked really well. We isolated our XL systems with a
LAN bridge and had reliable transfer for years.
Finding some old Limnet hardware/sw/manuals and having a network savy
person hook it up would solve your problem.
As others have pointed transfer by tape/floppy is the most
straightforward, but least flexible, solution.
