Indirectly perhaps - I used tar to create backup files, which I then
FTP'd to the VAX where I used to work. Depending on the TCP and tape
system that's running on the PC, you should be able to transfer files
directly to a device name (e.g., CON, COM1, tape) on the PC.

Internet access. If you don't have a direct connection, you can still
use SLIP to get to a nearby Internet node.

My main goal in putting TCP on my old 386 was for Internet access. To
me, that was cause enough.
