Unless your connection is RELIABLE (e.g. you are using MNP or
some other error-correcting technique) your best bet is to save
the article (using some variant of the "s" or "w" commands) and
use kermit/[xyz]modem or somesuch to do the actual transfer.
You are asking for serious trouble otherwise.

If you DO have a reliable connection, you can save to /dev/tty
and the entire article will be written to your terminal.  If
you use DC2/DC4 to trigger capture, you can create a shell script
containing

	echo "\022\c";cat;echo "\024\c"
or
	echo -n "\022";cat;echo -n "\024"

(whichever works on your system) and pipe into it.  Then you
shouldn't have to edit anything out.
