Have you considered putting a lan card in each and using
ssh/sftp or even just plain old ftp to copy the files over?
What about setting up nfs and using NFS to copy 'em over
the network?
You *can* set up something similar to laplink using a
terminal adapter util such as minicom and setting up on
linux box to "answer" the phone.... however, from what I
recall, you'll find a 10-megabit network a LOT faster!
