How about MODE CON:=COMx: ? (IIRC)
And there were numerous facilities for BBS sysops to run commands

there's always PC-anywhere; Remote and about a gazillion other
utilities.
I seem to remember that simple MODE commands don't cut it
when it comes to redirection and cursor behavior. I remember
using a function within my ol' fave Pro-YAM that did a good
job of hosting the DOS prompt out the serial port to my Amiga.
I think I could also dial in to one of the machines to get
to the other. Good times.
