Part of the Baker's dozen utility set is a program called swcom12.com. I
haven't tried it, but the documentation is:
} SWCOM12.COM
} -----------
} Switch RS-232 ports for COM1 and COM2. No parameters.
}
} To start:
} C>swcom12
I'd post, but the package has to be distributed as a whole.
Bakers Dozen is shareware, so you might be able to find it on a
local bbs, or you can contact the author(?)/distributor directly at:
