We will soon have two PC's sitting next to each other, but only one has a modem. We would like to share the modem. _________________________ ___________________________ [ Serial port] ===Cable==>> [Serial port --??--> MODEM] ==phone=> ------------------------- --------------------------- Machine 1 Machine 2 We can easily connect the serial port of machine #1 to the serial port of machine #2. So if we could connect the serial port of machine #2 to the modem of machine #2 (which is also a serial device), we would be home free. Does anyone know of a program that will redirect a serial port in a machine to second serial port (in this case a modem) of that machine?

This means that hardware solutions (like A/B switches) can't work and that a software solution is necessary.
