Actually the way I transfer files between my amiga and 128 is using
the modems I have on both.  I hook my amiga's avatex to my 1670
and tell one (It doesn't matter which) to dial (via ATD) and then
I go to the other and issue an ATA command.  The two then act as
if they were hooked thru MA BELL.

The only draw-back to this method is that you only transfer at whatever
speeds your modem(s) can handle.

Have fun.
