I heard this mentioned in a previous post in one of the BBS
newsgroups, but I didn't see any followups.  (it was also one of the
things I was looking for in an OS/2 bbs).

Is it possible for an OS/2 program (for example, a BBS) to pass
control of the COMM port to a DOS program (for example, a DOS door
game) without interuption of service?

If so, has it been done with a BBS yet?
or, how can it be done so I could write my own door driver?
