To run telnet server, all you need is in.telnetd.

It was a geniune dumb terminal?  A piece of hardware
specifically designed for that purpose?  In that case
you wouldn't use a terminal program.  A terminal program
is used to turn a PC into a dumb terminal.

In BL2 all you have to do is uncomment the s1 line and
set the speed to the same speed as the dumb terminal.

Can kermit dial and connect to a BBS?  If so, it is a 
terminal program.

lsz downloads.  lrz uploads.  Your terminal program
will probably accept the download automatically.

You don't need them for DOS.  Running lsz in Linux will 
push the file at your terminal program (which should 
automatically accept it and put it in your DOS download 
directory).  Running lrz in Linux will pull the specified
file from your terminal program.

Then you will probably be better off with a DOS terminal
program (like commo) that includes zmodem.

Yes, the PLIP packetdriver for DOS should be available
at Simtel (or other DOS repository).
