   Yes. Build or buy a null modem cable, and run comm software on both
ends. The cable (with pointers to pinouts-- the //c has a slightly
oddball 5-pin connector)), Apple IIc info (max baudrate varies
depending on what model you have), and such is detailed in the
comp.sys.apple2 FAQ at http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html

   The Linux end has an even better set of READMEs, FAQs and such than
what I've collected for the Apple II series-- 8.8MB after compression
can be installed with Slackware 3.0. If you didn't install that, you
can drop by http://www.vcomm.net/comp/linux.html 

   [Drop by #linux on irc one day and ask questions right of the
HOWTOs.. they'll show you to the exit and tell you what to read, then
come back]
