Procomm Plus should be able to do this with no problem, it's got a host
mode and a pretty complete scripting language.  I think it's Pascal-like,
though mercifully I don't remember much Pascal.  There was (I think still
is) a DOS version; if you can't get the DOS version new it's not hard to
find on eBay and other sources.  You could also use Telix or QMODEM or
something sinilar on the DOS machines, they had pretty good scripting.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new
discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny ..."
