I'd like to connect an Amiga to a PC to transfer large files (>2 megs). On Messydos there are lots of terminal programs that use speeds like 115000 baud. What terminal software for the Amiga is recommended to do such transfers? -- ------------------------------------ Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ------------------------------------

Rather than a terminal program, I'd use CrossDOS. It makes an Amiga's 3 1/2-inch floppy drive act exactly like a 720K IBM drive; you can read and write MS-DOS disks at full floppy drive speed. If you have a 1020 you can even transfer to and from 5 1/4-inch 360K disks, although I've heard that people have problems with other 5 1/4-inch drives. CrossDOS is only about $30, and well worth it as far as I'm concerned. However, there's also a publicly-distributable program called MSH which people seem to like. Of course, if I'm on my bridge-board-equipped 2500 I just AREAD and AWRITE from the IBM side... :-) Charlie_Gibbs@mindlink.UUCP Honk if you love geese.

It makes OK, I know it's great, but I have files in the size range of 4 megabytes to get over to msdos (yes, yes, 24 bit pictures :-) This is rather difficult with disks...or is there a split/unsplit program that has versions for both Amiga and MSDOS? -- ------------------------------------ Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ------------------------------------
