Redirecting console (cmd) to serial (com) port

[Paul]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure a console to work on a serial
port (Com1).
Command.com seems to be the way, as it can accept a
peripheral for I/O, but :
Command COM1
doesn't work.
I've also tried to use redirection :
cmd.exe >com1 0<&1
and variant, but the best I have is output redirected,
but no input.

Does anyone knows how to do ?
Regards,
Paul

did you try using the MODE command first before redirecting output?
something like: MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1

You may also need to change a few settings for the DOS window that you
have open.
