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. dave
