Listers,

        Once upon a DOS time there was a program called Lap Link 3.

        I'm looking for a program (or set of commands) that would allow me to
transfer a file from my desktop to my notebook.  What's the LL3 linux equiv ?

        Unfortunately the network between the two is temporilly down and floppys
would take forever..  hence my request...

        I'm sure that armed with two working serial ports and my trusty LL3 cable
I can do a simple single file transfer, but how ?.

        On the 'sender' could I just cat the file to /dev/tty1 ?
        could then the 'receiver' just /dev/tty1 > filename

        It couldn't be that easy, why wouldn't this work ?..

        Much thanks in advance
