[comp.windows.ms] Need to drive "virtual COM1". HELP.

gould@pilot.njin.net (Brian Jay Gould) (08/09/90)

I want to modify my windows com driver so that my virtual COM1
is actually a named pipe going to a LAN Manager server with
a modem pool.  Using debug, it appears that comm.drv is used
to do the actual "in" and "out" stuff.  So if I create a new
comm.drv, I can solve my problem.  Right?

The problem is that I have no idea how comm.drv is supposed to
work.  Does anyone know anything about it?

As a temporary solution, I tie com1 to com2 with a short cable.
A separate program moves com2 out to the named pipe and a program
on the OS/2 server.  I'd really rather have a cleaner solution.
