Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get some DXF files from a PC to an Amiga 400 for use in 
Lightwave. The problem being that some of the files are too large to fit 
on a diskette, and I know very little about compression on the Amiga. I 
know it can be done, but where are the tools and how do I get them? 

Also, this whole problem would be avoided if I knew anything about using 
a modem on the Amiga. I know these questions must sound inane to a 
hardcore Amiga user, but I'm up against a deadline and I need to get 
these files soon. 

Can anyone tell me a little something about communications and 
compression on the Amiga, or at least where I could find this information?
