Hi,

 I have a sensor that sends frequency modulated data to the 
serial port. These data are processed by an old  program 
running under DOS. This works well up to Win98 (starting the 
software from command line) but from Win2k on it does not 
work any more. 

So far I have tried VMware, VirtualPC, and DOSBox. All 
emulate the serial port but the data read in are unreliable or 
simply wrong most probably due to timing problems at the com 
port (I am far from being an expert).

 I now tried QUEMU (host: WinXP, guest: DOS). But I even do 
not receive any data. Does anybody know a solution? If I were 
able to at least accessing the serial port I could find out 
whether the data are read in correctly. Or is there no chance 
that this setup will ever work?

Thanks for hints, Dieter
