- Why not just connect a NULL modem between COM1 and COM2, configure the
- terminal program for COM1 and the BBS-program for COM2 and run it over
- the serial port?

- softwares. They are OS/2 programs so there were no performance problems, but
- I assume the DOS-boxes could keep up with it, if you select a baudrate low
