You don't need to run a getty running to transfer the data... getty is
only necessary if you want to be able to log into the machine from a
serial "terminal." All you should need to do on the host (Linux
machine) side is start up a terminal emulator (such as Minicom or
Kermit) and tell it to log the 'session' to a file.

There's a command you can use in Applesoft Basic to redirect console I/O
to a card in one of its slots - eg, the Super-Serial card. I don't
know what it is, and can't find a refernce to it using google. Does
someone else on the list remember how to do this?
