I agree with your intent to recommend a PAR, however, there are a few other
considerations…
>The PAR is one of the easiest ways to go for broadcast quality with no

Easy, yes, but not inexpensive. There are single frame alternatives starting
at under $200. The advantage to non-PAR based alternatives is they do not use
lossy compression schemes.
>Even if you decided to get a PC down the road the PAR in an 020 or 030 >Amiga
can act as a digital disk recorder. (just add an ethernet card to each >machine
to get frames in)
I looked into doing this here, but I did not have a server setup so I declined
to do this at this time. I don't know about anyone else, but I have been
unable to find a peer to peer ethernet solution for an IBM and an Amiga. I
found an null modem setup to be extremely slow.
Also, as stated before, there appears to be a quality difference between the
IBM and Amiga versions of the PAR.
Sorry to jump in…
