Sorry to post a non-working suggestion, but email bounced.

I've tried to do C64 => A1000 transfers using terminal emulator programs
and an RS-232 null modem cable between the serial port on the Amiga and a
"real" RS-232 adapter on the C64.  The terminal emulators were Handshake
on the Amiga, and Autocom (came with a modem) on the C64.  Both of these
terminal programs have worked flawlessly over many years with many different
host machines thru many different modems.

However the transfer gave me many problems with extra characters: tabs
and line feeds, as I recall; enough to be essentially useless.  The text
characters did transfer error-free.  I tried all the different transfer
parameter settings that seemed appropriate on both computers to no avail. 

I was really disappointed; and I still feel that this hookup should be
the most straightforward way to do transfers.  What's the good recipe?
