 Get a cheap Ethernet board for your Amiga, and a router for your cable modem.
Get them both online, and you can use Amiga Explorer's TCP/IP option instead of
the serial option to send files over the 'net.

 I guess in theory you don't need the 'net at all, just link directly, but I
wouldn't have the patience to figure out the logistics on the Amiga side.

 Of course, this assumes you can get an Ethernet board for your Amiga... there's
one on EBay right now for $40 or so.  If its an A500, I don't know what else to
tell ya.
