The program which you are looking for already exists in a sense.  On
Asimov you should be able to find a program called ADT.  To set this
program up, a text file is sent to the //e through the serial card.
These commands enters the debugger, "types" the program into memory,
returns to Applesoft, then saves the binary file.  In essence, you are
sending hex encoded data to the //e, along with a few commands which
tell it what to do with that data (ie. put it into memory in the right
place, and save it as a binary file).  Afterwards, ADT allows you to
transfer disk images in a binary format (one of which is presumably
a communications program).
