I tried using pcmcia.  It already had the three basic modules loaded but 
cardmgr -o could not find any cards (even if I loaded the two needed 
ethernet modules).  The config file was already set up to recognize this 
smc-based Megahertz card.  I tried both sockets.  The card works 
elsewhere.

I don't have plip or slip modules in the 6MB of included modules (which do 
include joysticks and radio of all sorts).

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?

We won't be taking this computer on vacation if the pcmcia part does not 
work, but I am learning a lot trying to find out.
