Yes.

No.  Anything that supports the X-Modem or Y-Modem protocls
will work.

At the Redboot prompt, issue the load command:

 load -m xmodem

Redboto will start sending something every second or two (IIRC,
it's a "C").   Then tell your terminal program to send the file
using the protocol you specified in the load command.
