Running Laplink on your Debian box under dosemu is the most obvious way to
go (although, I haven't tried it); you may also be able to create a PPP or
SL/IP link using a null modem cable, although you would have to find a DOS
ppp or SL/IP program (there may be something suitable amongst the Crynwyr
(?sp) packet drivers). I'm not sure if the LapLink cable is a 'proper' null
modem cable, but it may be...
