Sharing COM ports

[Les Peters]

There has been some talk lately about hardware and software solutions for sharing COM ports so I thought I would relate what I've been using. I stumbled onto a program called LP_Bridge at "http://www.telepostinc.com/LPB2.html" a while back. I use it to create multiple simultaneous virtual COM ports with my K3S for DX4WIN, MMTTY, WSJT-X, and Writelog using a single physical COM port. Its not perfect but it works pretty well and the best part is its FREE!

LPBridge is ok for simple applications but it does not support more advanced applications since it does not cache and pass all commamds. 73 Tom va2fsq.com
