COM Port Windows guest VM to network
-
This isn't exactly an XCP-ng question, but I'm wondering if anybody has a solution here.
I'm looking to virtualize a Windows-based workload that's primary application uses a unidirectional (sending) communication over serial.
I would like to get a "COM" port on Windows that redirects to an IP address/port. I have a vague memory of doing this in Windows 95, and I know I can do it with printers in Win10/11, but I cannot for the life of me see a way to create an IP-based COM port in Windows 11.
I have a few of these systems and I need the application to use the "COM" port that would send to a piece of middle-ware (IP Address:Port) that will accept the incoming command, translate it to another format and send on to the final destination.
This seems like it should be doable.
