Getting files into and out of KEGS...how?



I've done some playing around with KEGS on one of my Linux boxen lately. 
I had my GS's hard drive hooked up to it for a bit, so all of the apps that
are installed on it (including ProTERM) are available to KEGS.

KEGS is supposed to emulate a modem so that something like ATDTlocalhost
will open a telnet session on the host side.  I've gotten that working:

tcpserver 127.0.0.1 23 /usr/sbin/in.telnetd

as root puts up a telnet daemon for local access as long as you need it. 
I've gotten ProTERM to connect to it, and I can list files on the host
system.  It's 1989 all over again. :-)

What's not yet working is file transfer.  I have lrzsz installed, but when I
try something like "sz foo.txt," ProTERM doesn't start downloading
automatically like it should.  Starting the download manually goes nowhere. 
XMODEM doesn't work any better...it just times out.

Am I doing something wrong here?  I'm going to need an Apple II (real or
emulated) running soon to write the firmware for the new beer-fridge
controller I'm working on (to no longer run it on an Apple II, but it is
6502-based).  I figured emulation would keep everything I need in one box
that's already set up, but if I need to unpack and set up my IIGS, I can do
that.
