  I am writing a bbs program that will run under ms-dos and will require a
special term program.  To do this properly, it would seem easiest to hook
up two machines through the srial prot, and develop the bbs program on one,
the the term on the other.  However, I do not have two machines at my disposal,
so I have a problem.  I would like to use os2( I'm using it now anyways ) and
run the term program in one window, and the bbs program in another.  I can
develop the software this way, and worry about adding the serial/phone routines
when the bbs software is completely written/debugged.  Does anyone know of a
practical way to communicate between DOS windows in os2?  I need to send
information bolth ways, obviously, just like a bbs and term.  Thank you
for any help.
