Re: Listening to a rs232 com port ?

Hi,
Sorry for late reaction, i cannot read the news from my office..:-(( (
security policy !)
Thank you for the suggestions
I have a breakout box, cables etc, but what i would like to do is listening
on the port, without having to install extra com ports or loop cable...
The idea of jmverdi is OK, but then with virtual ports ? I could then read
from one port and transfer to another, keeping a record of the data...

I still think its possible without creating additional ports

Thanks to '-' for his ComPort suggestion and the link MS/SysInternals ...

I will have to dig in the API calls i am afraid..

Any more suggestions welcome

Best regards,
Eddy.

This is not true.

Why do people keep making this false claim?

PortMon
