Title: virtual serial port
Post by: korte on March 29, 2010, 12:03:36 PM
I would like to write, virtual serial port.
Preferably the application level.
Can you help you streamlining how API calls me to check out.

Hi,

I want to do exactly the same thing! I've got a basic driver working but it doesn't show in device manager as a COM port, only as a non-PnP driver.

You need to create symbolic links to connect to (I've got this part working) and if I could just get it showing in device manager, I think I cracked it.

http://four-f.webs.com/ is about as close to anything useful that I found on what is required, together with Walter Olneys book on driver development.

Look for com0com too - that has source code available.

Best regards,
Robin.
