I've got an Apple //e and an IBM 286 clone, and have my printer and
internal modem connected to the IBM.  What I'd like to do is write (or
find) a program that will read data coming in from a COM port and
direct it out to the modem or printer.  The idea is to be able to use
the printer and modem from the Apple as if they were directly
connected to it.  Now this SHOULD be a fairly trivial piece of code to
write, but, I'd also like it to be a TSR and be able to toggle it on
and off from the PC, in case I want to use the printer/modem.  I'd
really like to write it in Turbo C (since I'm more comfortabe in C
than ASM).  Does anyone out there have any suggestions and/or example
pieces of code I could use as a guideline?
-thanks
