Virtual Serial Port

I studied a lot of information on how to create virtual ports and stuck into Virtual Serial Port Kit. So a few words about this program. Virtual Serial Port Kit creates virtual serial ports and connects them via virtual null-modem cables. All the data written to one virtual serial port is immediately read from the other one, and vice versa. With Virtual Serial Port Kit your applications can exchange data just like they do via hardware serial ports and real null-modem cables.For example, you can create pair of virtual serial ports (e.g. COM7 and COM8) and connect two applications to them. All data that the first application writes to COM7 is read from COM8 by the second application, and vice versa. So as you can see the program is very useful and essential.

Program's features:

Full hardware serial ports emulation
Virtual serial ports look and work like real hardware ports
Serial data bitrate (transmission speed) emulation
Once created virtual ports are operable at each system startup (prior to user login)
Real serial ports are not occupied
Real null-modem cables are not required
Virtual communication is more fast and reliable than via a real null-modem cable

Virtual Serial Port Kit is compatible with: full Microsoft serial.sys, PnP and WMI technologies, Hyper-Threading Technology, VMware.

What I liked about the program: user-friendly program interface, I created virtual COM ports, removed them without any computer reboot, one click enable/disable button for all virtual serial ports feature, virtual serial ports were controlled directly from my own application using command-line, virtual serial ports can be also controlled directly from your own application using Dynamic Link Library (OEM license).
