The problem is opposite. I have a windows application which only understands RS232 and a device that used to be RS232 but now instead has a WiFi access point to connect to whereafter the same data stream is available via a TCP port on the device. Cannot change the application so I need a utility that can channel binary data between the TCP port and a regular com port. Of course not having to bridge two regular hardware ports in order to do this (using a virual com port) would be good but not necessary. Furthermore after checking out the suggestions posted I really would like to have more control, i.e. I want a source solution for Delphi or Lazarus (prefer Lazarus) on Windows. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
