You might be able to do it with a NT Server box. With NT you can do multiple device access definitions to the same device (comm port). This works for printers, etc. Now I don't now how the individual peripherals would establish DBS's security. You also need some protocol to talk from the DOS box to the NT box. Don't have time to try it now, maybe somebody can take this and run with it.

Subject: Splitting a Signal Box Data Stream
Hey Realtrading Gents:
I've been having fun trying to split a DBC Signal Box's output to two Workstations.
I'd like some input from anyone who's tried and succeeded same.
I want to send one data-stream to TS 4.0, and then to a venerable DOS version of Signal that works better than Windows versions of 3.0 or 4.0.
Question: can this be done on one work station, can one get the two apps to "share" the com port, or do I need to "split" the signal and send to two PCs.
Feedback please!
TIA
