You can't use the multiple connectors on the BMI box, but you can get the
components to split the signal at Radio Shack for about $12.  Find the two
data wires in your existing cable (I think it's the wires connected to pins
2 and 5-- but you'll need to verify this) -- Split them off to a duplicate
DB-9 or DB-25 connector to your second machine.  If this sounds confusing,
you'll need a local nerd or some advice from a technician at your local
computer shop.
    
PS. Don't ask/tell BMI, they'll tell you its illegal...
