Writing a virtual COM (serial) port driver...

[liebknecht]

Hello.

I would like to develop some kind of application/driver that could act as a COM (serial) port to other applications. I need to do this because I'm stuck with some old fashioned communication clients that only speaks to COM (serial) ports.

With this application/driver I would like to redirect the serial port communication stream to for example a TCP port communication stream.

I know there are such applications out there but I need more flexibility to redirect to whatever serial communication stream I like to.

I think I have to write some kind of driver to Windows to accomplish this but I've never done that before. Please help me with the information I need to do this or give me some good hyperlinks to follow.

Best regards.

Hello.

It is me again. Is there anyone who have experience in coding Windows-drivers that could lead me on the way to some good information.

Thanks in advance.
