virtual COM port

Press RESET immediately, All! Given: one stupid program that only works with COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4. Another program, a terminal emulator, such as Hyperterminal. You need to connect them. The problem can be easily solved if you have two computers and NULL modem cable, or if you have one computer with at least two free ports. However, there is only one computer, and there are no free ports there is no cable at all... I would like a virtual COM port that would simply create a pair of COMx devices:, where one of the 'x' is less than or equal to 4, and virtually connects them. In general, it would be ideal if this whole thing could be used on another car transmit over the network. Yes, the virtual port should (highly desirable) be correct process "out-of-band" signals, such as setting the baud rate, manipulation of DTR, CTS signals, sending a BREAK signal. Of course it should be free, or stolen. What are your suggestions? I looked on google didn't look out for anything. However, I haven’t really looked at it yet. Yes, we are talking about Windows (NT). And about programs for Windows (not to be confused with DOS).

Well, for example VMWare Workstation v.4.5.2.8848 Create ports there and connect them via Pipe. In Advanced, enable the Yield CPU on poll option. PS By the way, if you know how to program, you can do it on the host make the second side of the pipe ;) And by the way, it seems ZOC (terminal such) can work through pipe itself. In theory, pipe can also be forward to the grid, but I don’t know what software can do this. Best regards, Evgeniy.
