< Can I make use of the Centronics interface?
Yes with any current printer just like a PC, though the connector may be
different.
<What type of 'serial car' do you recommend?
Toyota, I've had good luck. Oh sorry, serial card, what ever you have or
can get. Jamco still sells apple][ cards and stuff.
< Can I use my Apple //c w/serial port but w/o CP/M?
Sure!

or MDM, or one of a dozen others for each OS.

Kermit is well known and supported by most PC transfer programs.
Max, get an editor. Either that or don't use LYNX for mail, try elm or
pine.
