Usually. The kernel serial drivers will identify modems at standard
locations, because they look like serial ports.

The latter. They're basically a header and a .tar.gz. (But why don't
you try?)

I used suntar on the Mac and `tar xvf /dev/fd0' on my Linux box. You
don't get compression but you easily get any sized files across. I
think it might also be possible to use it to write the resc1440.bin to
a disk.
