Is there a way to transfer large files from DOS/Windoze machines to Debian if you only have a null modem or floppies to "connect" the two?
I want to download some large files for Debian (staroffice and a newer kernel source). My Debian machine is now at home and it will cost a fortune to download them at 14.4k over the 'phone but I can catch them with my NT machine at work for free and put them on my Win95 portable (conversion to Debian for this is planned!!!) with laplink. Is there a good way to transfer them from the portable to the Debian machine? I have a feeling that kermit or another protocol at each end of the null modem cable is the best answer. I can get kermit or the like for the portable and I have minicom on the Debian machine. Failing that, anything that will split files under DOS/doze in a way that they can be reassembled after floppy transfer under Debian?
