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.

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?
