Interesting problem which should not be a real problem.
On UNIX net I am working, there are some IBM AT's with 3 1/2 " Floppies.
So the easiest would be to format the Disk under DOS (MS-DOS), then
goto your Amiga, use Cross-Dos, D2D (Dos to Dos) or Messy-Dos or
the BridgeBoards to copy files. 
Via ftp, the IBMs are connected to UNIX Net.
Next Idea: 
Use Terminal Programm via Phone or Ser-Port. Use kermit under UNIX.
Other Idea:
Do it with your fingers (type source on UNIX), say 12 Bauds ?
If UNIX on 386 Machine (IBM or clones), then use tcp/ip or nfs or something like
that, to copy files to MS-DOS Disk, then use Cross-Dos or other Progs to copy 
to Amiga.
It is the best way at all to use MS-DOS formatted Disks. If any other solution
is known, please let us know ! What about DNET ?
CU, Markus.
