With what code I have, you'd actually be able to read an archive tarred on
MacOS to a raw 800 K floppy just fine.  ;)
But then, you'd have to be able to compile a patched kernel yourself.

In the meantime, what about ppp? Enable serial login with 57k6, create an
account that has pppd as its "shell" and you should be set. I did the same
between an SE/30 and a Q700 before I got ethernet.

Again, try ppp. I've never tried X with it, though.  ;)
