Yes.

And if your next question is "How do you do this?", the answer would be "Buy
a null-modem cable, and plug it into the serial port of each one. Follow the
instructions that came with DOS 6.0+. Add "Device=c:\dos\interlnk.exe" to
the config.sys of one, run intersvr.exe on the other, and reboot the first
one." But that's only if you want to know the answer.
