Can't you build a tarball and cat it to the printer port
(there are tools that will let you configure another machine
to *capture* data from the printer port). No, not PLIP, etc.
This would be an open-loop process... you just push the data
and *expect* the other device to capture it all correctly.
I would try cpio (find . -print|cpio -ov > /dev/tty) rather than
the tarball, as it will transport sym links better than a tarball, and the sco tar will probably not be up to snuff to
deal with
it line gnu tar is now days. if space and functionality permit,
one could create a cpio file and checksum it in some way
to be sure it transfered with all the data. if nothing else, wc
the thing.
