Unfortunately, it's not that simple.  While you can re-direct a stream of
characters, you can't easily re-direct direct screen writes, because you have
to also transmit to the receiving end where on the screen to place characters.

If you want to connect a PC running MesSyDOS to the com port, you may want to
try these packages:
ELSEWR22.*  Elsewhere, a PC-Anywhere clone, drive your PC thru com port
TR2-6.*     Telereplica, Connect 2 PC's, use both keyboards

Should be available on Simtel20.

To my knowledge, these will only allow CGA graphics and text, but a newer
version may provide support for other graphics adapters.  This will probably be
very SLOW.
