How to make a virtual commport in visualbasic 6 ??

What i want is : Convert a 9600 baud input to 4800 baud.
I have a GPS reciever whit fixed buadrate 9600
I have navigate program that want 4800 baud.
I know dat i lose some data but that is not the problem.
I could filter the incomming data en send it to a virtual commport

Virtual commport:

A virtual commport is a software commport that akt like a
harware commport.
You can sent data to it and read the data from it just the way
jou would do with a hardware commport.
The trick is that jou can send data to a other programm that
expect that data from a commport.
So about mij aplication.
I have a gps reciever that is connect to commport 1
the GPS reciever send on a fixed baudrate 9600
(mij laptop has only 1 commport. harware)
The program that i want to use expect a signal on a commport
with a baudrate off 4800. (can not be chanced)
I can use in visualbasic the MSCOMM to read the incomming
signal. Filter the data and send it to a SOFTWARE COMMPORT
with is on 4800 baud. Lets say COMMPORT 5
This commport i can select and read the data from it.

I found already VSPORT.OCX .
This could work.

I am busy with writing and testing the programm with VSPORT.ocx
