-----------
First you need to configure the connection channel, COM1 in your
case. SET PORT COM1, SET SPEED 9600, SET PARITY NONE. That's 9600 we presume.
SHOW COMM to see current settings. If you have to dial a phone then use the
dialer material shipped with MS-DOS Kermit.
Once the connection is going then TRANSMIT filespec.
If you are uncertain about what to type in a command then press
the query mark (question mark) key to get all the things that fit at that
point, even in the middle of a word. That's called context sensitive help.
It's easier than it looks, the second time round.
