Default Share Serial Port

Hi all,

There are any way to share the serial port COM1: for two applications running at the same time?

Thanks

Best Regards

Not real easily. There's a way if you write a drive which talks to the one serial port and presents a few vitual ports out the other end. I even remember seeing such an aplication for PocketPC once, but don't remember where.
