I have a dim memory of having to move records between two modem-equipped 
computers: an Apple II+ and a PC XT, IIRC. I ran a phone cable between 
the modems and wrote a Basic program to print records to slot two, while 
capturing the text stream on the PC. I was surprised that no telco was 
required. It took days at 1200 bps.
