In general it's possible but could you please explain in detail for what do you need this feature?

It would then be a lot mroe useful for a multitude of applications.
 
The reason i needed to do this is for:--
 
I use a dvb-s card & program which connects to a satellite for sat tv.
There is a utility for the satprogram called Poormans Cam, which emulates the CARD slot of satellite recievers and works by having a device connected to the com port (which u put your card in).
There is ALSO a program which emulates the CARD iteself and transmits on the com port to a card.
 
Using this driver it wil be possible to illiminate hardware.
 
note: I can donate 50+$ dollars Smiley

Current virtual serial port software will not work at the moment as it emulates a null modem lead, which connects RTS pin 7 to CTS pin 8 on the other port. WCE(card emulator) needs the RTS connected to pin 1 DCD for it to work.

Thanks you very much for explanation. Apparently we will add this feature in the next Virtual Serial Port Kit version. Please don't ask about when it will be ready... It's so hardly to define exact deadline so ... it will be available as soon as possible (maybe in one month, maybe in two...)  Smiley

I bought a full.6 version using $99.98, but found it could not provide DCD and CTS sign that my application need it. so I have to plan to buy another vritual driver that could provide DTR--DCD and RTS--CTS feature. that will spend my a more $99.95.
if FabulaTech could release next new version with virtual pins handshaking feature, can I get freely?
 
if not, can I get 50% or more money from company and return register key? Huh

Virtual Serial Port Kit v4.7 has been released.  
http://www.virtual-serial-port.com
 
Different null modem schemes are available now. New version allows to create virtual modems with loop back, partial or full handshaking.
