You have pretty much been limited to either network or modem.

Network:
By far the fastest method if you can pull it off. In theory
you would be able to transfer the files directly through
network.  Only difficulty should be actually connecting the
two systems together over the network.  A Windows system
should easily be able to see the UNIX system however I don't
know how well it would work the other way.  Probably be a
pain to get the UNIX files into a sharing MODE though.
Might require FTP.

Modem:
If you can connect both systems via Modem. Then, You should be
able to connect via Null Modem which in DOS/Windows can transfer
at upto 115200 versus 33600 via modem.  I don't know what the
speed limit for the Unix system is but I assume it to be the same.

Floppy:
UNIX floppy won't be readable from DOS.  However, It should be
readable from Linux which can be a partition of a PC that contains
both DOS and Linux.  Then, from Linux you could mount the DOS
partition and move or copy the file to the DOS partition allowing
you to put the file on Any DOS/Windows media you like.
