Hello there,
I'm playing with an old ONT (Alcatel-Lucent I-010G-U) on which I am trying to learn things before breaking the real important hardware 
I've connected the UART cable (USB to TTL) and have no problem connecting to the ONT with screen or minicom.
I wanted to transfer the files on the ONT to my computer in order to easily read them, learn from them, and have some sort of a backup - however, I can't manage to find a way to transfer them to my PC.
I've searched the internet and the answers I've found could not work for me (I do not have a network cable connected, I can not find rz/sz on my ONT, etc.)
For example, this is all I have in the ONT's busybox
#ONT/system/shell>busybox
BusyBox v1.18.4 (2014-02-25 17:37:25 CST) multi-call binary.

BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
utilities into a single executable. Most people will create a
link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
will act like whatever it was invoked as.

I thought about transferring the files over network, but connecting my PC (linux mint 20.3) directly to the ONT doesn't work (neither gets an IP address, I assume because neither has DHCP).
Maybe I can somehow force them communicate over network and then use FTP?
I'm a newbie trying to learn, so any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
(Note: I know installing OpenWRT on an ONT is silly, but I'm using the ONT as a learning step, not as the final destination 
)
