        It's ugly, but...

        A cheap solution is to use a terminal emulator that can do a
        straight ASCII (i.e. non-protocol, except for XON/XOFF handshaking)
        "upload" to a host. I have used several emulators (VDTE, Kermit,
        PC 2622) as "printer drivers" to a HP LaserJet with no problem.
        But WHY doesn't the PC support serial devices better at the driver
        level?!?
