I remember seeing a program written to allow two PC compatibles to transfer files via their RS232 (COM) ports. Does anyone know what this program is called and from where I could ftp it?

Does anyone know >what this program is called and from where I could ftp it? There are many such programs, some specialized entirely for this purpose. One non-specialized (= slower) solution is to use a communications program (such as Procomm or Telix) at each end of the transfer. If you do not have large amounts of data to be transferred, this solution is adequate. If you want more information about this option ftp /pc/ts/tspfon29.arc from University of Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.3. ...................................................................

We found that MS-Kermit 2.32 worked very well for this. We couldn't get the zip program to do the transfer due to line errors (the cables weren't too good). Kermit received many errors too, but it was always able to recover from them. The fastest way seems to be: Set the send and receive packet sizes to 1000 on both matchines. Try baud rates from 115200 to 38400 untill you get a resonable number of retrys. We were getting about 25% retries at 115200. Kermit is available from cunixc.columbia.edu (I think !)
