Default type a file to serial port and receive it on another computer

Paul,

At the receiver, this works better:

copy COM3: output.txt


I've tried "type com1" as well as "copy com1 con". Neither works, but
depending on what program I ran before it it fails differently (instantly
returning, or not returning at all) - even though "mode com1 /status" shows
no difference between.

The only thing I can still try is to, instead of a z-modem cable, use one
with the signalling lines connected too. That will have to wait until I can
find the cable for it though.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
