<div dir="ltr">I need to use a single serial port from a computer remotely. That is, I need to have a virtual COM port driver which will emulate the COM port, and would send and receive the actual data from a computer with a real COM port which is a running a special server.<div>

<div><br></div><div>
Can anyone recommend an application (preferably opensource, preferable cross platform so that it'll have a windows client)?</div></div>

</div></div><br>which claims to create a Virtual COM that opens a TCP connection to a remote location.<br><br>And there's the well known:<br><br><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ser2net/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/ser2net/</a><br>
<br>That runs on Linux as a listener, allowing TCP connections to communicate with a real port.<br><br>Those two together sound like they should do the job...<br><br>-- Shimi<br></div>
