Or, if you have call waiting, you could use Zmodem.  That way
if someone calls in knocking one of the computers offline,
you can resume transfer where the file left off.  Only Zmodem
does this (well, CompuServe B+ does it too, but I mean the
non-proprietary methods).

Obviously, if you do not have this problem, Ymodem or another
method is ok too.  Zmodem might save a little time, though,
since it is faster than all others.
