Virtual COM port under win XP

david_liz · 12-17-2003, 06:58 AM

Hi! Does anybody know how can I "duplicate" a serial port? What I want to is share gps data, for using it with navigation soft and net-stumbler at the same time. I mean something which can get all the data from, for example, COM1 and put it on "virtual" COM2 and COM3 so I can config Destinator to use COM2 and net-stumbler to use COM3. I've searched the forum but found nothing... Any one can help?

Thanks!!

Hey david_liz, how you doing? With comfoolery you will also need DeviceComm to create the virtual port. I've tried and never got them to work together fantastically...

Another good one is Serial Splitter but you'd have to spend some pasta!
