3842.0. "How to download from VAX via PC to AMIGA" by JGO::ENG_STAG () Wed Jun 13 1990 08:57

    Hi,
    
    This conference is much too big so I didn't check out if this question
    is asked before (if it is I apologize).
    
    Can anyone explain how I can put public software off the net and
    get it on my amiga using a PC (which can kermit files from VAX to
    PC).
    
    Thanks!

    See Topics 1288.* and 2007.* and ... or
    dir /title=download
    
    I format a disk using dos2dos on my AMIGA. 
    Then
    VAX->PCSA->DECstation(PC)->Dos2Dos->AMIGA

    that works fine for me.

    Yep,
    
    i format a 3.5" disk with 720k on a DS350, convert the archive on
    the vax with cvtarc to 510 Bytes fix lenght, started NFT, copied the
    file. At home i copied the archive with MSH or CrossDOS to Amiga-DOS.
    
    Thats all
