You could always try with "Bobos file format". It creates a script-file, which you run in Max 7.

I've had best luck by using the latest versions of the FBX file format.. you lose some of the stack, but it transfers geometry and materials great from what I've tried so far.

Definitely search the autodesk site for the latest versions though. they update the file plugin quite often
