You should be able to send any character (including CTRL-D, the
PostScript EOF) through a Unix tty if you first open it in raw
mode. You can use stty together with cat to put the port in raw
mode and send characters:
 
(stty -raw; cat foo.ps) > /dev/ttyxx
 
If you're using telnet to talk to the terminal server, you may
need to check the manual page to see if it does anything
special with the eof character (CTRL-D under Unix).  This might
be the cause of your problem.
