When I got my first IBM compatible, I transferred a bunch of ascii files
from my C64 using connection as you described.  I used a terminal program
on the C64 called COMM-TERM3+ (I think) and PROCOMM 2.4 on the MS-DOS
side.  COMM-TERM3+ has XMODEM protocol option and all worked rather well
once I got it all figured out.  Also, I believe VIP Term for C64 has
XMODEM protocol.  By the way, the COMM-TERM software was available on
BBS's back then, but that has been 2-3 years ago so I don't know what
is available now.  You need something that allows XMODEM protocol.
Hope this helps.
