Hello Jose,
I don't have a dual but I think you need only a "null modem cable" to connect
serial port 1 to serial port 2.  Then you can run one program on cpu-1 with
serial port 1 and connected to cpu-2 through serial port 2.  Both programs can
run inside arena.  The problem most people have is finding a "serial modem
cable".  Note:  This is not an ordinary serial cable since it has some pins
crossed.
