Virtual Serial Port Driver
Virtual Serial Port Driver for Windows (VSPD) creates two pure virtual serial ports in your system and virtually interconnects them. For other Windows applications, for example, for GPS mapping software, virtual ports will be seen exactly as two real serial ports connected via null-modem cable. You can select any port numbers for a virtual serial ports pair.
For example, you can create virtual pair of serial ports COM5-COM6. In this case all data sent by other applications to virtual serial port COM5 will arrive at virtual serial port COM6, and all data sent to virtual serial port COM6 will arrive at COM5. This can be seen if you run two HyperTerminals (or any other Windows terminal programs) and connect one of them to virtual serial port COM5 and other one to COM6. Then, all you type in first terminal will appear at second one. Of course, you can transfer files, other data or do whatever you want as they were real serial ports.
With Virtual Serial Port Driver you can connect one application to another using virtual serial ports pair. Applications will be able to exchange data. This solution can be used, for example, for GPS simulation programs.

Virtual Serial Port Driver Features:
- Virtual Serial Port Driver and all of its internal modules are digitally signed
- Virtual Serial Port Driver is completely compatible with Windows Vista
- Different virtual null-modem schemes are available: standard/loopback/custom (for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista)
- Easily manage port access list, which is used to restrict access to created ports for various applications (for Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista)
- Completely new reworked and redesigned Serial Ports Explorer, which helps you get full information about all serial ports used in system
- Virtual serial port may have any name you like (not only COMx)
- "Hot" virtual ports installation - no reboot required after installation, creation or reconfiguration of virtual serial ports
- Strict baudrate emulation (for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista)
- Full support of HandFlow control (Hardware and Xon/Xoff)
- You can manage all signal lines (DTR/DSR/CTS/RTS/DCD/RI)
- You can create as many virtual serial ports pairs as you want
- You can control virtual serial ports directly from your own application using Dynamic Link Library supplied with Virtual Serial Port Driver
- Virtual serial ports are absolutely the same copies of real ones - other applications will never see the difference between real serial port and virtual serial port
- Real serial ports are not occupied (actually, you can even have no real serial ports in your system and work with virtual ones)
- Link between virtual serial ports is much faster than real null-modem cable connection and solely depends on your processor speed. Average transfer speed is about 35-40 Kbytes/sec
- VSPD uses advanced Windows kernel driver technology (supporting WDM, WMI, Power Management, PnP, etc.)
- Virtual link is much more reliable than common physical link
- Virtual serial port can have the same name as real serial port (virtual serial port overlapping). In case of overlapping, the real serial port you overlap will be not available anymore
- Printers can be assigned to any created virtual serial ports
- Easily emulate virtual serial line connection break (for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista)
- Get complete information about current virtual serial port state, sent/received data volumes, and other options (for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista)
- Ports are automatically re-created on system reboot (prior to user login)
- User-friendly and convenient program interface
