A terminal program supporting VT100.  http://www.intrec.com/
has ProTERM 3.1, which is great for this.  It also supports zmodem
for file transfers.

Or you can set up GNO/ME for the IIGS and zmodem via its
shell command line using the familiar sz command.

If you want something more, there is Netatalk for Linux.  I'm not
sure where to get it, but it lets you set up Linux as an LocalTalk
server.  The IIGS can then log on using Finder and navigate files
and folders as if on its own hard drive.
