I am in the process of buying a Portfolio and have been particularly
interested in serial file transfer, since I mainly use a UN*X system rather
than a PC.  I understand from a local dealer here in Edinburgh and also from
DIP, the company who designed the Portfolio, that serial software will be
available shortly.  (Shortly is defined as "early October".)

The software will include terminal emulation (VT52 & VT100) as well as
file transfer utilities (such as XMODEM).  I've been told it will be on a
ROM card like the other ROM cards (Finance, Science and Utilities) currently
available.

The information is a bit sketchy at the moment, but I hope it's a help.
