At sr10.1 Apollo supports IBM token ring (4 Mbit/sec version), get
interface boards from Apollo. Also you can use SLIP, serial line internet
protocol (tcp/ip over a RS232 serial port).

Then there are various RS232 communications programs: Kermit, XMODEM, etc.

Finally, sneaker net. Walk a floppy or ctape between machines.
