Hello everyone,

It is nice returning back to the forum.

I have been assigned a project, where i need to build a TCP/IP to serial port device. That part is covered.
The problem is how i can build a virtual com port driver under windows XP, so that i will be able to access the remote device over TCP/IP connection with the same interface as a serial port (e.g. something like mscomm control only that the actual code sends TCP/IP packets instead of handling the local serial port).

I understand that i can build drivers with Microsoft's Driver Development Kit (DDK) for Windows XP. I have ordered it but still hasn't arrived.

Has anyone of you tried something similar ?
I am interested in comments and guidance notes.
