I have a Classic. I have an Amiga 2000. 

The rough draft of my novel is on the Amiga in WordPerfect. I find the
output of the Microsoft Word program is of higher quality. The formatting
tools and general creative environment of the program are better in Microsoft
Word.

I have uploaded the first 4 chapters onto an accomodating bbs and then down
loaded the chapters to the Mac, but this was tedious and time consuming. 

What I would like to know is whether simply plugging the normal Mac modem cable
output connector into the serial port of the Amiga, setting both computers
up in a VT emulation, and then using the Kermit 'get' command will work. Or
do I have to buy a null modem cable or manufacture an adapter?

Thanks in advance.
