| Hi all,
Does anyone know how to create virtual serial port in VB6? I found some
ActiveX controls on the web that claim can create virtual serial port, I
tried the demo, but has limited functionality and expensive. What is the
best way to create from scatch in VB?
Thanks in advance!

According to this old post, you can't. It requires a device driver..
which is one thing VB just plain isn't made for.

| Virtual serial ports are very hard to write. Naturally, they cannot be
written in VB! There are commercial products available that can be used
from VB (Eltima, for example).
