If I have linux on a pc or laptop, how do I get a shell session
running on the serial port? Does it automatically start a getty on
serial ports? If so, than just having a terminal program that could
send text on the apple would do it?
I don't have proterm for the apple...would that be a good solution
for my problem (to either send to procomm plus (which I also don't
have) or do a linux system)?
thanks!

Once the apple is hooked to a modern pc (probably
a laptop running
windows-xp), what s/w would be best to run on the apple and on the
laptop to get the apple files transferred up to the pc?
I really like Procomm Plus For Windows on the PC and ProTerm on the Apple
][. If you need a copy of either then just holler.
On the other hand, if you have a Linux box handy, you can log in to a
shell session on one of the serial ports and then just dump the files on
the Apple side and cat out the data to a file on the Linux box.
