Televideo (CP/M) to Unix Copy

[Richard J. Gill]

I am looking for suggestions regarding copying data from a Televideo
816/40 (CP/M - I think "concurrent") to an NCR Tower (System V).

The Televideo system has a 40MB hard disc, and is now supporting two
terminals.  I am unfamiliar with this machine or with CP/M, and there is
no technical documentation available. The system has a floppy disc and
tape drive as well as several connnectors which appear (to my untrained
eye) to be serial ports. 

The data to be transfered is primarily ASCII (printable). We have run a
test conversion wherein a local firm converted a floppy disc from the
Televideo system to 360kb IBM-PC format which I then read on the Tower. 
Using this approach, it is going to be a really long and complicated
project to move 20-30MB.

How feasible is it to connect the two machines and copy the data that
way?  What will the physical hook-up look like on the Televideo end?
What programs and/or system commands will be needed at the CP/M end? 
(Is there an equivalent to "cat file > /dev/tty01" ?)

Thanks in advance for your help.
