If the adjacent PC is a Unix box or Mac, you could configure it to run
a 'getty' on the serial port.

An Applesoft basic program could easily 'chat' with the Unix shell on
the other end and load the ftp data for whatever local manipulation
you'd like.

Not sure about getty's on windows but Cygwin might be able to pull
something like that off.
