There was a program I used for serial port sharing back around 1986 or so. It was a DOS TSR. You'd run the "host" TSR on the machine with the port(s) to share, and the other machines would run client TSR's. I just looked, and I don't seem to have it, or anything that seems to jog my memory. Unfortunately, I don't recall it's name. We also used a "Buffalo Box" device for serial port sharing that worked pretty well - but that didn't share over the net. It would just allow multiple machines to use their serial ports to "share" a limited resource like a modem, but each machine had a serial line connected to the Buffalo Box. - Bob -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Vintage Computer Festival Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 12:21 PM To: Classic Computers Mailing List Subject: New bounties ($$$) I'm looking for the following software for a client: Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 for OS/2 IBM LAN Server 2.0 for OS/2 "Message Port" by Nuko Information Systems "WinPort" by LANSource Technologies, 1.0 version The common thread is that all featured serial port sharing technology over a LAN.
