Re: Virtual redirect of COM port.

But isn't that only for printers connecting via the serial port?

Is it possible to connect another serial device to the clients com
port and talk to it using something like hyper terminal or, as in our
case with NT4.0 and Citrix, a custom VB application? We're upgrading
to W2K (or W2K3 if needed) and would like to do without the extra
expense of citrix but from what I have found, citrix is still required
to talk to the clients com ports for anything besides printers. If
that's not the case, I'd love to know how.

Thanks

Scott
