Virtual Serial Ports Driver creates two pure virtual serial ports in your system which are virtually connected to each other. For other Windows applications, virtual ports will be seen exactly as two real serial ports connected via null-modem cable. With virtual ports created by Virtual Serial Port Driver you can connect applications to each other and exchange data between them without occupying your real serial ports and using hardware wiring. Virtual link between virtual serial ports is much faster then real null-modem cable connection and depends on your processor speed. The latest version with new manual and examples now supports full baudrate emulation. With user-friendly GUI and on-the-fly help of Virtual Serial Port Driver it's very easy to configure a virtual serial ports pair.

Features:

* Virtual serial ports are absolutely the same copies of real ones - other applications will never see the difference between real serial port and virtual serial port
* Virtual serial port can have the same name as real serial port (virtual serial port overlapping). In case of overlapping, the real serial port you overlap will be replaced with the virtual one
* Full support of HandFlow control (Hardware and Xon/Xoff)
* You can manage all signal lines (DTR/DSR/CTS/RTS/DCD/RI)
* Different virtual null-modem schemes are available: standard/loopback/custom (for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista)
* VSPD uses advanced Windows kernel driver technology (supporting WDM, WMI, Power Management, PnP, etc.)
* Strict baudrate emulation (for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista)
* Create virtual serial ports with any names which will be displayed in Device Manager (not only COMx)
* Easily manage port access list, which is used to restrict access to created ports for various applications (for Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista)
* Easily emulate virtual serial line connection break (for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista)
* Virtual Serial Port Driver is completely compatible with Windows Vista, 32-bit and 64-bit editions
* "Hot" virtual ports installation - no reboot required after installation, creation or reconfiguration of virtual serial ports
* Virtual Serial Port Driver and all of its internal modules are digitally signed
* You can create as many virtual serial port pairs as you want
* You can control virtual serial ports directly from your own application using Dynamic Link Library supplied with Virtual Serial Port Driver
* Real serial ports are not occupied (actually, you can even have no real serial ports in your system and work with virtual ones)
* Link between virtual serial ports is much faster than real null-modem cable connection and solely depends on your processor speed. Average transfer speed is about 35-40 Kbytes/sec
* Virtual link is much more reliable than common physical link
* Printers can be assigned to any created virtual serial ports
* Get complete information about current virtual serial port state, sent/received data volumes, and other options (for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista)
* Ports are automatically re-created on system reboot (prior to user login)
* Hyper-threading and VMware friendly
* User-friendly and convenient program interface
* Completely new reworked and redesigned Serial Ports Explorer, which helps you get full information about all serial ports used in system
