Jeff, I *think* you can do this by connecting the COM output to its
input (this might be pins 2 & 3, it's been several years since I've done
COM hardware and I'm not sure) and then running a utility which sends
data out and sees if it comes back in. I can't remember the utility I
used (which ran on DOS though it should work in an OS/2-DOS session).

Theseus might do this but I've never learned enough about it to know
what its capabilities are.
