A colleague of mine wants to be able to send text files of HP-GL
instructions down the modem port of a Mac to our HP plotter.  Is there a
simple and cheap way of doing this?  Kermit can only send files in
Kermit protocol.  The old MacTerminal could do this apparently, but
won't now on an SE (or something).

Any suggestions?  I'm not a competetent-enough Mac programmer to write a
little application for him (yet).
