DTN claims it can't be done but several persons have told me that a buffer is
needed, mine is also enabled for Ensign, which doesn't call the symbols just
blocks the one's your not using. This is what someone sent me on splitting the
signal.
In the case of the DTN box sensing the load on it's serial port, you could get
around this with electronic buffer amplifiers on the send and receive lines of
the RS-232 port (lines 2 & 3). The buffers would look like a single load to
the DTN box, just like using an amplified splitter on your TV cable. I
suspect the "slave" computer will have to be as fast or faster than the master
computer, with only the master computer's flow control lines connected to the
DTN box.

yes- but the ability to use it depends on any controls sent back to the
receiver.
If, for example, omega sends a control to limit the output to a certain set of
symbols and another program expects the entire data stream, then the splitter is
worthless.
