Hello List Members
I need your help -
The problem
On Windows 95 we have an application App-A which communicates on Serial COM Port to another application App-B on the same machine. A null modem cable connects the two com ports of the machine.
Requirement
Now I want to free one COM port for some other purpose. Can I modify/redevelop App-B such that it will trap the data sent by App-A on COM port, process it & send back to App-A without using another COM port as well as without interfering the working of App-A. App-A can not be modified & it will continue to send & receive data on COM port. It is expected from App-B to provide a Virtual Com port.
Has anyone worked on such application/driver ?
Any suggestions, references would be appreciated.
What would be differences if Win NT is to be used.
Thanks in advance
