Von: Tony Smith Betreff: Re: Can I mount a serial port on a WIN machine??? Datum: Mittwoch, 26. Mai 1999 21:54 Do a search on "Tactical Software" Amercian mob who have quite a bit of software along the lines of what you are looking for. I was using the trial version of one of their products to allow a Windows9x box to use a Com Port shared by a Linux Box (Yes I realise that this is the reverse of what you are watning to do, but I think that they had software to do it that way as well). Be warned, whilst nearly all of Tactical Software's products have free trial periods I was put off using them in the long term due to very very high purchase prices. -- Cheers Tony Smith Connected to the Internet in Cairns Far North Queensland http://members.xoom.com/tony_smith tony.smith@usa.net > AFAIK, win9x can't share a com port like that.
