Perhaps we need to be a bit more specific about what you mean about
sending a config file over the console cable. If you mean using
TFTP to send a file (copy tftp running-config kind of thing) then
you are correct, TFTP is not supported to the console port.
If you just mean being able to transfer a config file from a PC
hard drive to the router, then it certainly is possible. Hyperterm
and the other terminal emulators support a text transfer function
which can be used to read the config file from the PC and send it
to the router via the console connection (you can also transfer the
config from the router to the PC by doing a show running-config with
capture text turned on in your emulator, or with Windows cut and paste
to select text and paste it to Notepad on the PC).
