This answer is from an earlier message of mine. Hope it does help.

Every chessprogram in windows where auto232 works on two computers works also on
one if you connect the Com ports with a nullmodemcable.I have tried that on
several of my chess windows programs. But it doesn't work on Dos-programs, but
there are not so many of them today.

There are two ways. One is if both programs have auto 232-port. Then it is only
to connect them and make settings. The other way is if they haven't as in
CM8000. Then you can load cb_auto232c as an engine and that program will connect
you to the other program that has a connection for auto232.

If you have a modem on one of the com ports it is easy  to connect a new com
card so you get com3 to use the modem.
