Subject: Network connections ?

Has anyone ever connected two computers through a home network to play engines
against each other like the Auto232 serial connection?  I now have a new
computer which does not have a RS232 serial port.  So now I cannot play programs
against each other on two computers.  At least I don't know how anymore.  It
seems that the chessbase programs and Lokasoft programs have some kind of
network connection function but not sure if they have ever worked or how they
would work.  Maybe they are only for connection to the servers on the internet.
I suppose I could connect to a server like FICS and play two computers against
each other?
Any info would be appreciated.
Jim
