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?
You don't need to run a getty running to transfer the data... getty is
only necessary if you want to be able to log into the machine from a
serial "terminal." All you should need to do on the host (Linux
machine) side is start up a terminal emulator (such as Minicom or
Kermit) and tell it to log the 'session' to a file.
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)?
There's a command you can use in Applesoft Basic to redirect console I/O
to a card in one of its slots - eg, the Super-Serial card. I don't
know what it is, and can't find a refernce to it using google. Does
someone else on the list remember how to do this?

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.
