Direct Serial Connection

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.misc (More info?)

I have a client that tests electrical devices.
XP and 2000 has the option of creating a new connection
that will allow you to connect directly to a host through
parallel, serial, or infrared port.

This works fine in XP and 2000.

What I need to know if this is possible with ME/NT 4/98??

Any help is appreciated.

Yes you can. On NT you have to install the NULL modem driver and then you
can create a connection from there.

For info, what program do you use to talk to the "host"? On Windows NT, you
can use Hyperterm.

I know NT 4.0 will allow you to connect to another host
via the serial ports. I have done so myslef. A serial
crossover cable is required to switch transmit and
receive. If he is invloved in serial test equipment, he
should know what a crossover casble is.

Good Luck.
