Guys,

i know im not that great of a programmer. But i was wondering if anyone can program the following setup? it would help A LOT of us newbies :P.

- Serial Port emulator for PocketPC.
a. Input has to be transfert from a serial port (for use with activesync) to the internet service (TCP) with a specific IP-adress and back.

- Serial Port emulator for PC.
a. The emulator needs to listen to a specific port for TCP connection requests. And forward everything to the emulated com-port and back.

I know there excist many serial emulators for the pc, but none with an TCP/IP server integraded.


For a visual display, take a look at the picture that is included.

This is a very interesting thing. It would just provide ActiveSync over ANY TCP/IP connection (so also WiFi and such).

The serial ports part can certainly be done (not that I looked into how difficult it is, but I know it is possible)

I am however still unclear in how doing this would enable ActiveSync to work. Sure I can connect the PC side to a COM port, but how would this work on the PPC side? If I look in ActiveSync there, I don't see an option to connect to a COM port. Maybe I am overlooking something.

There are several USB-over-IP solutions out there, would they help in achieving your goal?? although its not clear to me what your goal is...

Hope this is helpful,

Cheers!
