If it is a complete disk image, just use xmodem to send it over and the
appropriate linux command (rx -bc, I think) if you are using a form of
getty.

I was just doing this last week on my TI-Linux hookup, and I wanted to
use minicom instead. So I had to kill agetty, but as it was setup to
restart... I removed it from the /etc/inittab file (had to restart my
pc), setup a command to start it IF I want to, so I can use minicom for
the transfers. Much nicer since I have a program on the TI that acts as
a minibbs.
