322.0. "Rainbow as a 'file server'" by ECC::JAERVINEN (impersonal name) Fri Feb 13 1987 03:20

    I was thinking hard one of these days about how to get all the PD
    software that is floating on the net to my Amiga (I don't even have
    a modem at home).
    
    But I do have a rainbow for the more serious (?) work, with a hard
    disk - and there is this program called VMSFLX that can read/write
    Rainbow MS-DOS floppies on a �VAX - and Rainbow Kermit has a server
    mode. So what I did was to copy the stuff to MS-DOS floppies
    on a VAX, the get them on my Rainbow, install Kermit on it (and
    VT100 on the Amiga), one crossed cable and zap! it works perfectly
    (I know Mr. Murphy and I was really amazed to be able to pass even
    executable files through this chain of various formats with no
    problems).
    
    I can now use the RB as a 'file server' for the Amiga (I currently
    have only one drive); the Kermit server mode does this rather
    comfortable (though still relatively slow at 9600 baud).
