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.

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. If you have these or know of any other software that had
this feature (excluding Artisoft's Articom or LANtastic) then please
contact me.
I always share the profits with those who help me out!
