LAN com port?

How do you acces a com port on a peer LAN? The desktop machine shows
the share started, but on the Win98SE laptop Network Neighborhood shows

Gizmo: Dey is all da same pardy, PublicRats.

Don't have a clue what you're trying to accomplish. Please explain fully
and with much more detail. COM ports are not a shareable device or
resource.

I think you'd have to have specialized terminal server software running
on the machine with the com port.

Use the modem on the desktop from the laptop.

fully and with much more detail. COM ports are not a shareable device

I'll take that as a Win98 limitation. It is also true of XP?
