    Serial port emulator / virtual com port

    Hi,

    i'm trying to write a serial port emulator:

    if my pc has 2 serial ports (com1 & com2) i should get a (software) com3.

    In this way i can talk trough some hyperterminal-like app. to my programm.....

    Has anyone a hint?

    Simple connect com1 to com2, 1 app uses com1 the other app uses com2. If the PC is "better" as a 486 dx then it should be no problem.....

    Hai Henrie
    Ik heb een soortgelijk probleem.
    Wat ik heb gevonden tot nu toe is een demo van
    een virtual comport vsport.ocx
    zoeken naar vspactxd
    Eltima Software

    Op het eerste gezicht lijkt het wel goed maar er is een limit van 10 kilobyte.

    En ik vindt kopen geen sport meer.
    Mocht je iets vinden dan hoor ik het graag.

    Virtual comport

    @ PA0AUG / Albert:

    It would be nice to write english. The other people on this forum would appreciate that a lot.

    He found a virtual comport ocx from Eltima Software, it's a demo with a 10k data limit.

    So-far....
    My final solution:

    I found one (an ocx) without a data-limit (or maybe i did not reach it until now) and you're free to use it:

    They make hardware to connect serial over ethernet. They also provide a freeware tool for serial port emulation. Read this:
