- Well I odn't know much about Telix, but I do know that you can run a simple
- DOS session over the com port by simply doing C:\COMMAND.COM < COM1 > COM1
- on the local machine. This will redirect all input and output over the com
- port. But only DOS simplistic programs will work, like Edlin. If you want
- to run anything worthwhile over the com port, you will need something like
- DoorWay which will let anything run over the com port, and I mean anything.
