find the web site for quasar electronics and search for their relay boards there is a pice of command line software for outputting to parallel or serial port.
DOS:
echo hello>com1:
Linux (RH9)
echo hello>/dev/ttys0
will send the characters hello to the first serial port

Years back, Procomm Plus for DOS was my terminal emulator of choice. You can download it now from here:
http://solarflow.dyndns.org/pcplus/
The site also explains how to setup Linux to run DOS programs. I haven't tried it myself tho...
Peace always,

You could write one yourself very simply in VB.
Look for inpout32.dll
PM myself or Tampabay if you need a hand.
