- I heard this mentioned in a previous post in one of the BBS
- newsgroups, but I didn't see any followups. (it was also one of the
- things I was looking for in an OS/2 bbs).
-
- Is it possible for an OS/2 program (for example, a BBS) to pass
- control of the COMM port to a DOS program (for example, a DOS door
- game) without interuption of service?
-
- If so, has it been done with a BBS yet?
- or, how can it be done so I could write my own door driver?
