I want to visit serial port COM1 under XP&NT using MS Visual C++,but it cannot be realized using _inp() and _outp().

Would you help me to figure out how to visit COM1 using Visual C++?

Thank you very much!

For NT, try CreateFile("COM1",...) and then WriteFile and ReadFile on the handle.

You'd better use special class.
You can take it from "CodeProject"
