I don't understand what a USB to serial adapter has to do with this.
I'd suggest the easiest way is simply to run the terminal application (Hyperterminal) on the P3 and then use a program that lets you access the P3 from your laptop through your WiFi LAN. PC Remote is one such program, and there are some freeware programs that do the same thing.

To be able to share it you must write a program that accesses the hardware directly. I don't think it can be done with USB serial port adapter.

I would like to know if there is any freeware serial port sharing programs out there. The way I have it set up now is the DDS is connected to a old P3 which a real serial port and connected to the home wi-fi network. DDS -- real serial port -- P3-server <<<>>>> Wi-Fi -- Laptop--Hyper Terminal. I would like to be able to use a terminal application on my laptop and send the data to the P3's serial port. I know of a few apps that do do this www.network-serialport.com sells one. Is there any freeware apps that can do about the same thing ? Thanks Kelvin
