I believe you can use the CTTY command.  You will need to set up your
com port with the MODE command.  A few years ago, there was an article
in a PC magazine (I think it was PCMag) about using CTTY.  It used a
password program written in BASIC to protect your data from others who
might call in.  I ran it at 300 baud, and it was pretty interesting.
