- There is a program called TWIN which allows a 115K connection between a PC
- and an Amiga. It is not a file server but it allows rapid transfer of files
- between the two machines. I don't think DNET can be compiled on a PC.
- There are versions of SLIP for the PC. I don't know where you would find it
- but it might work with AmigaNOS.
