Perhaps I'm missing the point, but why not use a null-modem cable and a
terminal program on each machine. I know little about graphics, but I
thought the files were enormous - and a DD floppy, which is the best
you're going to get, will be very labour-intensive. Or are you short of
ports, or something? (Maybe the machines are miles apart?)

Anyway, I'm not sure of the specifics - we have Parnet or Sernet for Amiga
to Amiga, but if you ask here (comp.sys.amiga.misc) I'm sure someone will
help you.
