Taking IIGS out of closet - Term Emu

[mbohnsac@iastate.edu (Matthew Bohnsack)]

Hello all.  
I am a PC user (Linux), but still have a IIGS from around 1991.
The only software I have for it is the system disks + a few odd apps.
It has 1MB, 2 3.5" & 1 5.25" drives, no HD.

I would like to begin making use of this machine, but don't really know where
to start. I would like to use it initially as a terminal for one of my
Linux boxes. I guess I will need some vt100 emulation software.  
Can someone recomend a good term emulation package, one with zmodem.  Also is 
there a way to get this software from a pc-dos or mac disk onto the GS.  The 
basic problem is getting software for the GS, without having any.

TIA!
