      I currently have a 128 and will be getting an amiga 2000 as soon as I can scrounge up the money.  I'm only keeping the 128 at the moment because I need touse it to call vax1 from home.
      I have a number of files for The Write Stuff (128 version) that I'd like  to hold on to (stories & papers I've written, etc.) when I upgrade.  First      question: is there any relatively easy way to translate those files into        standard ascii so I can transfer them to the ami?
      Even better (here comes question # 2): I'd like to upload 'em to the vax  to laser-print'em.  I've never had ANY luck up/downloading text OR binary with  kermit.  What settings do I need to change on either my system or the vax's     C-kermit to finally get this to work?  (A friend of mine & I tried several      protocols with his amiga, and none of them worked, either....any insights on    this?).  If worst comes to worst, I can call in using a plain ascii term prog   and xmodem it, but I'd like to 




use kermit's petscii-ascii transfer mode to      simplify making the things readable on the unix system.

                       Thanks,
