More stuff from the help file:
Engine matches on two PCs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Menu: Tools – Connect hardware (or Alt-Shift-J)
You can play engines against programs using the Auto232 device driver. To do
this, you must connect two different computers with a serial cable (null modem).
Playing with a null modem cable (serial port)
After clicking the correct Com port, start an Auto-232 match on both computers
using File – New – Two computer match. In the dialog box, specify the players
and the name of the match. One of the PCs must be defined as the "Master".
During the match you will find information on its progress in the area just
below the status line, at the top of the screen (exactly as in engine matches).
The Auto232 function is fairly complex and only for expert users.
The autoplayer on a dual system
It is possible to conduct autoplayer games on a dual system without any relevant
performance loss. Each program gets a full CPU and has access to all the
resources allocated to it. Permanent brain works perfectly. Of course, the
system is only meaningful if you are using different GUIs for the two programs.
If both run under the Fritz GUI, it is better to start a regular engine match.
Start both programs and position them on the screen so that you can see the
relevant information and follow the match.
Start an autoplayer match as described above, defining one program as master
and one as slave.
Click "Server name" and enter a dot (period) in the input line.
Autoplayer via network
It is possible to play two computers against each other using a network
connection. For this you require Windows NT, Windows 2000 or higher. In the
Auto232 driver, enter a dot (period) as the "Server name", as shown above. It is
not necessary to enter an address on the host computer, but you must enter the
the IP address of the host on the slave computer.
