(Norman St. John Polevaulter) asks how to do file transfers from a
Unix system to an Amiga.

     The A1000 I'm typing this message on is here at work.  With the
flip of a homebrewed switch box, I can move it from this modem to a
line attached to our Unix box (direct connect instead of dial-in,
but what the heck, close enough for government work).  I have no
trouble sending files either way; in fact, I routinely send source
code to the Amiga so I can edit it with CygnusEd instead of using vi.

     The program I use is rz/sz/rb (take your pick, depends on how
you call it).  I use Xmodem-CRC; the "z" in rz stands for Zmodem,
but the terminal emulator I'm using (vt100 v2.9) doesn't speak it.
You should be able to find a copy of the source for rz/sz somewhere
and compile it on the Unix system; then you'll be able to use any
terminal emulator which speaks X- or Zmodem.
