Change operating systems, or change hardware.  ISTM that the BIOS
support for com ports went clear up to [wow] 300 baud. So everyone
writes to the hardware addresses themselves.

You could jumper the com port in question back in another com
port, and write code to grab THAT and send it to a parallel
port....
