I can set this computer to boot from CD-ROM.
Is there some easy way to do file transfers with the DSL CD-ROM or with 
Ubuntu?  I did manage at one point to dial my ISP with Ubuntu and wvdial 
so that is another option.

If not, I will attempt send/receive via plip if Redhat has that module or 
kernel support.  Anyone know?
