I've got a chicken/egg situation here. I have a laptop with Ubuntu
6.06 mounted, and no floppy drive, nor network access. I can't get
network access because I can't find out how to use the internal
modem (a Thinkpad T30) and network here means dial-up. My primary
machine is running W98FE, and can't write CDs. Nor can the USB
system on it access a Gizmo I bought from Crucial for the purpose,
although the T30 can. I can't use a null modem cable because I
can't find a zmodem capable terminal for the T30 (nor even any
terminal).
Minicom can do zmodem.
not unassisted. if lszrz is on the ubuntu cd that's all that's needed,
(just run getty on the serial port and connect with a windows terminal
program, and upload files)
without lszrz file transfers become more difficult,
is uudecode available? it's not a show stopper if not,
But I don't know of any windows progs that can escape binary files
correctly for bash, but if you can program in qbasic...
You can also do ppp with a null modem cable (not sure how you would
set up the Windows end).
There's a howto, (it involves the windows direct cable connection thing,
ppp, and chat) I had it working once, but now it's gone south and I can't
get it going again.
Bye.
