Jeff,
RS-232 is a point to point protocol only. That means there can be only
one driver on an RS-232 signal line.
You have 2 drivers on the signalling lines - if one is trying to send
data while the other one is in an idle state, the one in the idle state
will override the data being sent. That is your problem with the Y
cable. You will have to find another way.
LP-Bridge can assign an output port on the computer. I have never done
it, but I know it is in the instructions.
See www.telepostinc.com.

I run local and remote every week as I travel from my main station location
to my antenna restricted shore home. I don't have a problem swapping out the
DB-9 serial port cable, the PTT cable, and the audio out cable when I switch
over, it takes about a minute to do so. What I would like to do is split the
serial cable from my local PC to the K3 and the RRC-1258. This would allow
me to run my NaP3 panadapter s/w along with the RRC-1258, allowing me to
view the panadapter at the remote control station with teamviewer. I tried a
simple Y cable and it didn't work, anyone have this working? I have a copy
of LP_Bridge running, maybe activate yet another virtual comport?
