     It's one approach. The easiest way is to connect directly to the PC.

     You need a NULL modem cable and a good IIgs telecom program, like
Spectrum. Other telecom programs (ProTERM, Modem MGR, ...) work fine, too. On
the PC end, Hyperterm works well. (See FAQs for more information at
http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2T1TCOM.html .)

     Once you have your connection going, you can transfer all kinds of
files, including those which don't fit on a single diskette.
