So you're able to feed a raw script into rs232?

Perhaps you could uuencode or base64 a file and make it part of your script in a here-document.

Code:

base64 -d > /tmp/$$ <<"EOF"

set -- $(md5sum /tmp/$$)
rm -f /tmp/$$

if ! [ "$1" = "0e657476ea6a0024f4adadd1d105b7a4" ]
then
        echo "transfer corrupted"
        exit 1
fi

...except you could make a much bigger chunk. Feed a sufficiently large file into 'base64 < filename', and get the sum with 'md5sum filename'
