Clever web distribution of an old idea! The application-centered one
(which, I see, you can download the Apple II side for on that site) is at:
http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/
Transfer is *much* faster over serial than over the cassette port, for
obvious reasons, but if you don't have a compliant serial card (ADT Pro
only works with the Super Serial card and derivatives, and all I have is
an Apple Communications Card which maxes out at 300 baud unless you mod it
anyway), you're pretty much SOL.
The Apple II ethernet card (Uther) tends to be relatively hard to acquire.
I'm almost tempted to make one myself, but it'll have to go on the
ever-longer queue...
