Jonathon, 

Thank you very much for your reply.  This does give the incoming data a new file name.  However, It puts evryting into one file.  That is if if on the sending end I do:
$: cat filename > /dev/ttyS0 
and then:
$: cat filename2 > /dev/ttyS0

boths files' contents end up in one file on the receivinging end, instead of two seperate files as I intend.  I've played around and googled to try to find a way to make each a file to file transfer this way but am running out of ideas although I think I am very close.    

Thank you very much for the replies thus far.  If anyone else has any ideas how I can do this your input would be GREATLY appreciated.

Richard
