Add this after question 3 please:



Q. What software do I need for linking Amiga's with the
serial ports?

A. You can use ordinary terminal emulation software such as
NComm or Termite on the Amiga, and Teminate on the PC. Then
set the baud rates and other settings to be the same and use
Zmodem to copy the files across. Alternatively, use a
program called "TwinExpress" which is available from the
Aminet and PD libraries. It makes sending files a lot
simpler by running a custom utility on each machine.

And add this one to the end, please...


Q. How advanced is a TCP/IP network?

A. In terms of filesystem support, not very. You can copy
files using FTP but if you have used this you'll appreciate
that it is basic to say the least. One possible solution is
to use a Novel style network system, but details of Novel
support on the Amiga is sketchy to say the least. More
promising is the version of a program called SAMBA which has
appeared on Aminet. This aims to mount PC Window's
Workgroups on the Amiga and vice versa, which would be a
very flexible method of working.
