Look into ComOcom with Com4Hub and/or DDUtil. Both are multi-port
splitter/combiners but take some fiddling to make work. Alternatively,
the commercial Eltima Serial Port Slitter is very good but expensive
($99 for a single user license). These products are not easy to
develop and maintain so you get what you pay for.
If you don't want to pay for software - you could always use multiple
serial ports and a *hardware* serial splitter like those from BlackBox
available in three or six port versions:
<http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/3-Port-MS-3-Modem-Splitter/TL073A%C4%82R4>
and
<http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/6-Port-MS-6-Modem-Splitter/TL074A%C4%82R4>.
The cost of multiple USB to serial adapters, a hub
and the splitter will quickly outstrip even commercial software.

I gave Lp Bridge a try Got it to work fine but its not really what I
am looking for.
I want a totaly hands off option as was the VSPE application. It
started at boot up and sat quietly in the systray. did not need K3 on
to launch didn't have to think about order of launching and starting
other things or connecting and disconnecting. all programs could be
set to the same port at any speed so no individual port configurations I
am not sure what the limits are but I could have more than 5 different
programs using the K3 it seems that LP-Bridge only allowed five
virtual ports and each had to be dedicated to a program. even though I
don't use all five at the same time there are many programs that I
have that access the K3 at one time or another
Don't get me wrong Lp bridge looks like a great piece of software just
not what I am looking for.
after much research there seems to be two alternatives one is to pay
for VSPE and I understand the reason for them to have to charge. the
second option is to put the computer into driver test mode. not sure
what security issues this opens but I know that this is not advised.
anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks Dave VE3DVY
please reply to list I am sure that I am no the only one that may
experience these problems
