Why not just connect a NULL modem between COM1 and COM2, configure the 
terminal program for COM1 and the BBS-program for COM2 and run it over
the serial port?

That's the way I have developed and tested all my BBS and other communication
softwares.  They are OS/2 programs so there were no performance problems, but
I assume the DOS-boxes could keep up with it, if you select a baudrate low
enough.
