I haven't tried this myself, since I have only one serial line into my
office, but try using Kermit. It has a "set port x" command which will
allow you to select which serial port you use. Log in on machine "A" on
COM1, escape back to Kermit, issue the "set port 2" command, then log
into machine "B" on COM2. To change machines, escape back to Kermit and
issue the appropriate "set port x" command and "connect" to that
machine.
As I said, I can't say for sure if this works. Kermit might close the
serial port when you change to the other one. However, it's worth a
try.
