RE: xfer of 8bit text files to other computers...

  The easiest way to do this is to upload the text files to the net, or a BBS
and then download them.  (On the net send them as mail to yourself, same for a
BBS.)
  ALL the other ways to do this involve some expensive hardware, except for
building a null modem cable to go between the computers and then you have to 
know the exact port configs and write some software for the xfer.

Good Luck
