Can't you mount an ISO image as a drive with Linux? I thought I saw
something about that in the horrible morass of Linux "documentation".
Failing that, mount it with cdromemu.device on the Amiga and mount that
on the PC with NFS :)

Unfortunately, the EULA prohibits redistribution. Maybe a grovelling
e-mail and a promise of a free subscription is in order.

It's saturating my ISDN connection here, so they can't be throttling
that much.
