RS-485 allows multiple transmitters and receivers on the line at
the same time (up to a limit - 10 I think from memory?) ...

If you are happy for your PC to use two tranceivers, get a converter
that has an "always Tx'ing" converter hooked to your rs-232 Tx line,
and an "always Rx'ing" converter hooked to your rs-232 Rx line ...

Sorry - I don't have any names/models for you (too long since I
did this stuff last!)
