Hi,

What i would like to do, its listening to a com port, without using (
opening ) it...
It is rs232 "sniffing" really...

Any idea where to start, how its works, and if there are delphi components
available for this ?

Thanks,
Eddy.

I am sorry that you have to open the port but that is the way it works.

The opening configures the such items as baud rate, data bits etc.

Delphi does not have a built in serial port tool. I really wish it did.

Many tools are present for this, some complex complete with fax and voice mail. Others are more simple and simply a comport interface.

Most are shareware or freeware.
