Hi fellow netters !

I'd like to set up my v.32bis modem so that it can be used from my NeXT  
station and from my PC. The point is that I only need to modem with the PC  
for a few hours at night when the PC is serving MHS.

What I thought I'd write a little program that runs in the foreground of  
dos and copies everything that comes in at com1 out to com2 and vice  
versa. This way the NeXT would be connected through the PC and would be  
able to use the modem.

At night that program would be stop and the MHS program on the PC could  
use the modem itself. After a few hours, MHS would be killed and the first  
program would restart. And so on...

BUT.... how do I copy everything from com1 to com2 and vice versa ???  
Unfortunately I'm no big assembler programmer. If anybody has _any_ idea,  
please drop me some email. 

This tool must not be nice to look at. It should just work, so  
quick-and-dirty is ok !

Thanks a lot for your help, folks !

Tom
