OT: Ethernet equivalent of a virtual comm port?
PostPosted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 8:16 am     Reply with quote

Anyone know if there is an equivalent to the USB virtual comm port driver for Ethernet to enable a PC application to select a virual comm port that maps to Ethernet (telnet or UDP)?

Yup.
Look at the lantronix software.
I use the UDS-10 external software. It has a virtual com port.

NOTE: put configuration in RAW mode, inside the software. I worked with tech support for that info. You won't have that luxury.


maxstream also has products. They are wireless. (Xcite)

Thanks to you both but I am chasing just the windows virtual comm port not the hardware component.

Going back a few years, there was an example 'virtual com port', in the Windows DDK (about Y2K). This seems to have disappeared from the latter DDK packs, and the model involved has got a lot more complex now. There are a few 'part' drivers around as shareware/freeware, but I have found these to have varying quality. Look at the 'eltima' XP driver, which I think may be very close to what you want.
