Title: Compairing Products
Post by JimMcGowanInlet on Feb 8th, 2006, 5:03pm
I'm comparing Virtual Null Modem products so I can recommend one to buy as an alternative to actually null modeming 2 serial ports.  So far I've discovered that a few products do not work with VB2005. Although the FabulaTech product works with VB2005 I'm concerned because I can't get 2 hyperterminal sessions to talk to each other.

I've set up Com7 <---> Com8 and both ports open just fine but I cant get any data to/from either side.  So I'm concerned that there may be issues with this software too.  Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Jim

Hmmm... Two HyperTerminals connected via COM8 <-> COM9 virtual pair, created by Virtual Serial PortKit, works perfectly.

Humm cant get it to work here.  What setting are you using in your product.

All settings are by default. Start VSPK and create COM8 <-> COM9 pair, then:

- open Hyperterminal (HT-1)
- choose COM8
- all port settings by default

- open HT-2
- choose COM9
- all port settings by defaul

Now HTs communicate via VSPK (both typing and file transfer)
