I will need file transfer with Redhat 7.0 to get dosemu on there (David's

We have a nullmodem cable. Redhat has no kermit, which I used before
between linux and DOS computers. What terminal program might Redhat come
with that I could use for file transfer to some other DOS or linux
computer and how could I set this up? I never did succeed in file
transfer over a nullmodem cable with one computer used as a dumb terminal.

I could try to set up telnetd but I don't think I got file transfer
working with that either, over nullmodem cable.

It has FTP. Can I set up BL to be an FTP server somehow?

I just remembered BL3 and busybox httpd and there is also a static mini_httpd and I looked up how to run it.

mini_httpd -d /www (or whatever directory your files are in, or
you can set a config file to specify that but not with busybox httpd and I think it just uses the current directory)

I had it running while online with pppd (eznet).

What do I use as an IP address on the computer running httpd?

People got their IP address by going online (it is reported when you connect with eznet and in /var/eznet somewhere). Is it 192.168.1 and if so how would I set that? ifconfig?

127.0.0.0? (I can ping myself that way).

Do I set up to use the Redhat computer as a dumb terminal first by editing inittab on the BL computer to remove the # before s1 and use ttyS0 as terminal?

Redhat comes with lynx. lynx IP-number should get me either index.html or a list of files in the directory. But I think I would still need a terminal program - maybe Redhat comes with minicom or the SW7.1 version might work (it is on CD, but how do I unpack a Slackware package with Redhat?).
