I'm writing this for a friend who just recently bought an Amiga 2000,
with a PC-bridgeboard (XT).

His question was:
Is there any way to use a communications program through the Amiga
Serial port, from the PC side, similar to the way that the PC side
can access the parallel port?  The parallel bridge software was 
included with the package, however nothing was mentioned anywhere 
as to how he could run an IBM communications package.
The reason this is needed is that Bradley has a new computer which
(for some weird reason) uses function keys with its menus; they also
supply a communications package, but it only works with IBM compatibles
operating through COM1:

Any suggestions?
