I have been using two `tee' processes to xfer files between V6 & 4.2BSD.
Logon to the destination machine, pick a non-login port & stty it to
the proper baud rate, raw, tabs, no echo, & tandem if you have it.
Connect a cross-cable (null modem) from this port to the source
machine. Type `tee file < /dev/ttyxx & tee > /dev/ttyxx'. You are now
running a poor man's `cu'. Sounds gross, but it works (only on ascii
files). You might want to write a program that cuts up the output of
something like `more *.c'. Good luck!
