That makes things MUCH easier. | |

Added data-transfer tag.

Ethernet cards existed at that time (I even had an 8-bit card for an 8088 earlier) so you might be able to get one cheap of ebay or similar. Find a packet driver for the card and get TCP/IP up and running. See brutman.com/Dos_Networking for suggestions. | |

| Dec 19, 2017 at 12:01 | comment | added | ninjalj | @Geo...: if using Xmodem, I'd recommend the first thing to transfer to be Zmodem, since Xmodem is latency limited (stop-response protocol). IIRC, I got ~300 Bps with Xmodem and ~900 Bps with Zmodem on a 9600 bps null-modem connection. | |

minicom on Linux + terminate on DOS, using ZModem always worked for me

| Dec 17, 2017 at 4:23 | comment | added | user722 | What distribution and version of Linux are you using? | |
| Dec 17, 2017 at 1:38 | comment | added | Jules | @Geo... on the Linux side, minicom has been the de-facto standard for this since the last time I regularly used a Linux system as a serial terminal, which was probably in 1994. Not so sure about DOS, however. | |
| Dec 17, 2017 at 1:31 | comment | added | Geo... | I can't point to exact tools, but I would look for terminal programs for Dos and Linux that both support Xmodem. Ymodem or Zmodem are even better protocols for file transfers, but Xmodem works just fine. | |

| Dec 17, 2017 at 0:59 | comment | added | user722 | I'd install a terminal emulator program (of the sort used to connect to BBS'es) on the DOS computer and Zmodem on the Linux computer. You'd also need to setup the serial port on the Linux computer to allow log ins. | |
