- DH> I am writing a bbs program that will run under ms-dos and will require a
- DH>special term program. To do this properly, it would seem easiest to hook
- DH>up two machines through the srial prot, and develop the bbs program on one,
- DH>the the term on the other. However, I do not have two
- DH>machines at my disposal,
- DH>so I have a problem. I would like to use os2( I'm using it now anyways )
- and
- DH>run the term program in one window, and the bbs program in another. I can
- DH>develop the software this way, and worry about adding the
- DH>serial/phone routines
- DH>when the bbs software is completely written/debugged. Does anyone know of a
- DH>practical way to communicate between DOS windows in os2? I need to send
- DH>information bolth ways, obviously, just like a bbs and term. Thank you
- DH>for any help.

- You'd either have to write an OS/2 device driver to simulate this, or utilize
- named pipes. The latter would not debug your COMM routines though.
