Tried with minicom today. Since #1 has a program (CP/M based) which can convert it to a console, minicom is able to use #1 as a dumb terminal,
echoing whatever is typed onto #1's screen.
But I need to read the files from #1, so how to do that ?


If the file is a text file, you can print it on screen on #1 and capture it on #2. Did similar thing about 15 years back from a PDP-11/23 and a IBM PC for transferring some Fortran source code. Do not remember the exact steps.

Hope this helps
