[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Communications Program

Does anyone know of a program which can read data from two serial
ports at the same time? I'm using an IBM PC in a laboratory and I have
two machine which send data out at 1200 baud, Ideally I'd like to use
one computer to read in the data from both machines and just store the
data in separate files or in the same file. Currently, I'm using
kermit to read the data from one machine and store everything into a
file, I'd rather not have to buy another PC. Any suggestions?

Please e-mail any suggestions directly to me since I do not regularly
read this news group.
				Thanks,

Yes, Diamond... there IS a comm program that will accept from two ports
at the same time:  ORACOMM.ARC (in Portal IBM file section); however,
not sure it would send to the same file - or if, indeed, that is 
advisible.  Kermit?  Think you had better take a good look at Oracomm
with the possibility of reading with another protocol.
