You can do a straight kermit file transfer between DOS and linux machines 
via nullmodem cable, without setting up any serial network first.  I 
installed BL1 on a computer without CD-ROM drive by copying packages 
from a computer with CD-ROM drive via kermit.

The instructions are in the DOS Kermit and C-Kermit manuals which are 
online somewhere.  I can look them up in my paper manuals if you cannot 
find them.

It should in theory be possible to do a linux-linux kermit file transfer 
similarly.

DOS llpro works over parallel or serial transfer cable.  You can make a 
serial transfer cable out of two mice tails, but they don't have enough 
wires to use as nullmodem cable.
