Standard serial port is just recieve/transmit. You'll have to write your own module to take control of the serial port at the hardware level in order to use it as some way to communicate over the other pins through the OI...
I thought you meant turning the entire computer into the operator interface... Hrmm... to me it still seems like a waste to have to go through the operator interface... also it makes the project a whole lot easier...
I'm thinking this isn't the project to jump on. It runs so many potential risks/problems. Someone could use something like this for not-so-good tendencies/revenge during a competition.
