What operating system is running on the HP-100LX, and what communications
software are you using on it? If it is DOS, you can use MS-DOS Kermit and
a null modem cable, and then assuming you have a getty on the Sun serial
port, you should be able to log in on the Sun and transfer files between
C-Kermit and MS-DOS Kermit in the normal manner.
You can also go in the other direction, using C-Kermit to "set line" to
your spare serial port, where MS-DOS Kermit is waiting in server on the
other end of the wire.
Obviously, the serial speeds on each end must match, and for best results
you should also "set flow rts/cts" on both ends (this requires RTS and CTS
wires in the cable, crossed over).
