Virtual Serial Port Driver

Pros: The product installed in a matter of seconds, and the serial ports I configured were immediately available without so much as a reboot. The connection is stable and ultra-fast. Integration with Device Manager is perfect. I’m using only a fraction of the features this product offers as a virtual nullmodem cable is all I need.

Cons: The user interface could be improved in the area of accessibility for blind users, but for my very basic configuration of just a single pair of serial ports without any bells and whistles, I didn’t run into anything serious.

Overall: I am blind, and I use a DOS emulator for playing old text games. Since the DOS emulator doesn’t interoperate with my screen reader, I use a DOS screen reader running inside the emulator, and a software speech synthesizer on the host. Since the DOS screen reader expects a COM port for the speech synthesizer, I needed a virtual nullmodem cable, and this is what I am using Virtual Serial Port Driver for.

As an embedded systems developer working with multiple devices that rely on serial communication, Virtual Serial Port Driver has been an absolute lifesaver. I needed to create several virtual COM ports to simulate communication between various devices, and this software made it incredibly easy. The ports function just like physical serial ports, which is critical for my projects. I’ve been using it for a while now and it has been very reliable. The installation was smooth, and I was up and running in no time.The only minor issue I’ve encountered was when transferring large volumes of data over the virtual ports—there was a slight delay, likely due to buffer settings. However, once I adjusted the buffer sizes, the problem was resolved. This software is essential for anyone working with multiple virtual serial ports, especially in embedded systems or communication applications. I would definitely recommend it.

Great tool to support scientific monitoring, administration of M-Bus Heat and Electricity meters, virtual driver to modify and data sampling gateway. Easy to handle, 100% reliable.

I used Virtual Serial Port Driver while troubleshooting legacy software that relied on outdated serial communication protocols. The software helped me replicate the environment without the need for physical hardware, speeding up the diagnostic process. The virtual COM ports behaved exactly like real ones, enabling me to pinpoint and resolve the issue efficiently. For IT professionals dealing with older systems, this tool is a must-have!

As part of a QA team for a logistics company, I frequently test software that interfaces with barcode scanners and other serial devices. Virtual Serial Port Driver allowed me to emulate serial devices in various scenarios, ensuring the software was robust before deployment. The option to create unlimited virtual port pairs saved me from needing multiple physical devices for testing. It’s a reliable, efficient solution for any testing environment involving serial communication.
