It sounds as though what Mr. Prieto wants to do is execute a non unix system's
cat equivalent (eg: "type") and save the screen output, getting a file transfer
system.  This is certainly a reasonable thing to do, but I have had little
success with Mr. Fiedler's  "cu | tee" solution.  Characters seem to drop out
like crazy.  If you have access to any 4.2 utilities, 'tip(1)' is what you want.
This is a much improved cu rewrite, (Really cu exists only as an entry to tip
in 4.2), and has commands tailor made for this sort of thing. (~<)
It's great for logins over hard uucp lines and modem fiddling too!
