Does the computer have a modem?  If so, use wget or links
to download x332bin.tgz from the internet (or from another
computer with a modem).

Do you have a laplink/null-modem/interlnk cable?  If so,
you can use it to transfer x332bin.tgz from another computer.

Do you have a spare HD?  If so, you could slave it to another 
computer, copy the file(s) to the HD and then slave it to the
target computer.

If none of the above is suitable, you could split x332bin.tgz
(using DOS or Linux), copy the pieces via floppies, and reassemble 
them in BL1 using "cat".  The current version of BL2 uses DOS 
split to create the floppy version (split.exe is included in 
make_fd.zip).  The Linux version of split is in the Slackware 
txtutils.tgz package.
