That would be sufficient to meet my immediate stimulate-and-test the M19 objective.  Sounds like a Unix pipe to me … so Ubuntu running on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with Win10 seems like a doable do.  But perhaps I'm being naïve here!

"copy file.txt com2:" (or whatever com device it is) should work if the
file isn't too big. 

There have been a bunch of different software projects that aim to do
more interesting things with it than just copy files.  The one I wrote
and use is at https://github.com/epvuc/loop-gateway 

I haven't tried it in WSL but it could very well work. When I get a
chance I'll give it a try. 

There's also John Nagle's BaudotRSS at
https://github.com/John-Nagle/baudotrss which does similar things. 

 HeavyMetal, I think, hasn't been maintained in years, but used to work
similarly.  

I'm sure I'm leaving a few out - if you've written something like this
please let us know!
