[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Connecting Serial Ports via Software

lairdkb@mentor.cc.purdue.edu (Kyler Laird) (03/18/91)

I wish to use a PC-XT as a host for an Intel SatisFAXtion card.  It will (I
hope!) be able to redirect its input (from COM1:) to FAX (print capture on
LPT1:) or the data modem (set up as COM2:).

I need a way to connect COM1: to COM2: using software so that I can make the
network host think that COM1: is connected to a modem.  I need to do this
'cause the SatisFAXtion is an internal card that needs a DOS driver.  I'm
running the network host under OS/2.

I saw a program that seemed to do exactly this.  I haven't been able to locate
it, though.

Thanks!
