There is a free program called TCPPORT which does exactly as you ask, its part of the Waterloo TCP package. Anonymous ftp to 129.97.128.196 and pick up pub/wattcp/beta/apps.arc. (The version in pub/wattcp/apps.arc does not convert carriage returns to linefeeds, so you would have to type ^J rather than just hitting return). Programs such as NCSA or CUTCP TELNET will be much faster since the COM port adds a *lot* of software overhead for each single character. If you have trouble getting MS-KERMIT to work over TCPPORT, send me E-mail.
