Is there a way to fake out a PC into talking to a different COM port?
 
Here's the situation: I have what looks like a really neat Unix Mail clone.
Unfortunately, the code is hard-wired to use COM1:. Since my )!(@*#&$^% MIDI
board is also hard-wired to COM1:, I had to put my modem on COM2:.
 
Is there a way to get the software to talk to the other port, either through
a small resident or something else?
