All you need on the Windows side is HyperTerminal; on the Debian system
you need the lrzsz package.
The first step is to get to the point where you can log into the Debian
system via one of the serial ports.
The second step - transfering the file to the Debian system - is much
easier: run "rz" from the command line and then use HyperTerminal to
send the file you want to transfer via ZModem.

I wasn't aware that Win 9x/NT/2k could do PLIP (Win 3.x can do it with the
Crynwr packet drivers).

And chances are the only software you need is already on the Windows box
