How do i do this...

I want to use hyper terminal to access a BBS / banking system. But the modem is on another machine.

Are there any utilities that will allow me to share the com port of the other machine. And use it as a comport on my machine? Through a network.

I dont think internet connection sharing will do it as it is not the internet.

These are both Windows boxes I assume?

Yes the so called server with the modem is running win xp home, and the client is a 98se machine. I downloaded a program called modem share millennium from a company. But when is dials out it says ' no cts' error.

Think i might just buy a long cable for another modem...

VNC it.

Really.

Hey, cool tip !
(and if you need to lessen the traffic, use TightVNC)

I thought of DSLink:

(it can be used to connect a Psion to a computer, but have the Psion use the computers modem). However, it could be that both computers need to be connected via a serial cable...
