This is the same way that I do my transfers, I use a serial cable with null modem, run a term application on the PC and on the Amiga. You can find some good freeware term applications for the Amiga on Aminet. Try one of those.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Oh Geez.  "Term program".  There's something I had thankfully resigned to an 80's dumpster memory, along with zip memory and dot matrix printers.

I know, I know ... it's pretty old school, but, I actually enjoy it to some extent. Plus, the price of purchasing hardware for networking is kind of prohibitive in my opinion. This is cheap, and free and I am cheap, and I like free stuff. It's a match made in heaven I tell ya! :-D

Thanks,

Whoops! Suddenly terminal programs are all around you, even though not all of them talk to a serial port..

They're far from dead, my friend. :-D

Well said. :-)

Well, yes, it is that easy. It's not incredibly fast or anything, although, you can use a fairly high speed for the port, since you do not suffer from the shortcomings of an actual modem.

I think that JRCom and NComm are both really nice terminal applications for the Amiga. Unfortunately, they are commercial and I doubt that you are going to be able to find *legal* versions out there to use.

Aminet has a bunch of ones you can use though, I just did a search for "terminal" and got almost a whole page of terminal applications.

What's the problem guys? Floppy disks aren't sold anymore? That's the easiest solution imo. :-D

Why to hassle around with cables and stuff?

Well, in my defense, I am an engineer and a former Unix admin, so, it is in my nature to do everything the hard way. I would have thought of just using "sneaker-ware", but, the twinkie-eating, D&D playing, Cli driven geek inside me immediately took over and decided that a complex setup involving cables and hard-to-find software was the only route worth traveling. Try to keep in mind that I would write a 50 line shell script to save typing one command in an xterm ... ;-)
