rs232 line splitting: msg#00053

Subject: rs232 line splitting
Hi, I need general help with rs232, sharing serial cable in particular. I have 
one of systems
connected to pager system using rs232 I want to connect another system to pager 
system too but
there's only one rs232 input to it. I was thinking about splitting cable and 
connecting existing
and new systems to paging system my question is what would happen if both 
systems tried to send
data over serial connection at the same time? my guess is that messages would 
get corrupted and
nothing would go to the pagers if that's the case is there a device that would 
buffer message in
case if messages would arrive on rs232 input ports 1 and 2? I know that it 
takes like 1second to
send the message but I really need to make sure that everything is delivered.

thanks all for your help!
