I just did this a couple of nights ago.  If what you want to do is control
your PC from a remote terminal try this:

     C> CTTY COM1

this redirects all CON: i/o through COM1.  I was running my computer with a
TRS-80 PC2 Pocket Computer this way just for shits and gigles.

Typing: CTTY CON from the remote terminal returns i/o to normal channels.
