But how would you use DOS commo to transfer a file from a DOS dumb 
terminal to a linux computer?  I still have not figured that part out.

Good idea.  We need to make another cable.
I suppose we could even add two more serial ports if we had the free ISA 
slots.  My partner said that way two or more people could use the computer 
dialed in to a bbs and 'talk' to each other.  (We are considering this as 
a way of testing out the talk program at our bbs, which  is currently 
beta-testing new hardware and software.  One phone line, one modem, one 
telnet connection on vt1/dumb terminal and another on vt2, two keyboards 
and two monitors).
