This is correct - the Sharp PC-3000 palmtop (of which

one here - it used to work fine though) has a version of Laplink in
ROM which can do exactly this.
My Toshiba T1000EX has Laplink in ROM (in fact, DOS 3.3 in ROM IIRC).
There's a menu option like "Upload client to
remote side" or
something, which then displays "Type the following commands on the
connected machine and then press return" or similar. ISTR there are
about 3 commands it displays which you type on the remote side; at
least one of them is to do with setting the speed of the serial port,
and I think at least one of them involved COPY. You certainly didn't
need anything other than plain DOS on the machine you were uploading
to.
I think the last one is "CTTY COM?:" where ? is the port number. This
lets the serial port become the console, at which point Laplink takes
over and builds up a copy on the other machine somehow.
