1919.0. "Amiga at home > VAX at work" by PRSIS4::TOMPKINS () Wed Nov 30 1988 07:21

    I have an Amiga 500 at home, with some text files I want to put
    on the VAX. I would also like to be able to transfer text from the
    VAX to the Amiga. The question is - how to do it?
    
    1. Bring the Amiga to work, connect the RS232 to a terminal line,
    write an Amiga Basic program to squirt text to and from the Amiga
    to the VAX.
    
       Has anybody got a program already written that I could use?
    
    2. As solution 1, but use a Toshiba portable we've got here to do
    the transfer. Take the Toshiba home, connect to Amiga, transfer,
    bring Toshiba to office, connect to VAX, transfer. Problem: the
    Toshiba has a really strange version of Kermit which nobody knows
    how to use.
    
       Do we have any Toshiba Kermit experts out there?
    
    Non-solutions:
    
    Go via a telephone  line. I haven't got a modem, and the security folks
    are not about to give me access.
    
    Write a diskette for the Toshiba on the Amiga, and vice-versa. It
    seems you need two drives, which I don't have.
    
    Any other ideas?

    there is an Amiga Kermit available too, on any of the Fred Fish
    Disks , i don't remember the Number.
    
    Or use a commercial Product like DIGA which offers Terminal Emulation
    and Kermit Xmodem Ymodem etc. File transfer protokolls.

    Any of the termal emulators out there (Vt-100, Handshake, Smokey)
    will do this for you easily.

    Digital's Easynet intersects Tymnet (an X.25 Common Carrier) at
    several points in the country.  The TSN User's Guide describes how
    to get an ID and password which will allow you to sign onto ANY
    Tymnet node and get to Easynet, right to your site.  I have a list
    of all Tymnet access nodes, if you need it. 
    
    Of course, you still need a modem, but you should be able to get
    one by scrounging around. Connecting a Scholar is well documented
    in the notes here.
