If you're sending a single file to someone who is waiting to receive it, then
why not just send it in the AX.25 data link layer.

The data link layer supports transparent data (any arbitrary binary sequences).
The weakest link may be getting the .COM file between your computer and your
TNC.  If your TNC won't let you send transparent data, you may want to convert
it to hexadecimal as is done in the Binhex or Motorola S-record formats.
