This is the first software of its kind which includes both local and network virtual COM port functions. It can share your real COM ports or create virtual COM ports and connect them with a virtual null-modem cable locally or through the network.
Connect a serial application to a remote TCP socket. This allows you to utilize modern hardware COM servers without changing your software or exchange data between a TCP/IP application and an old-fashioned program that doesn't support TCP/IP.
Virtual Serial Port ActiveX control creates a virtual port and lets you view and control any data sent to virtual com port by other applications and respond to them by sending your own data to virtual port. Offers full software serial port emulation.
Virtual Serial Port Driver XP (VSPD XP) is a powerful solution for serial port emulation. It creates virtual com ports in your system and connects them via reliable virtual link, which emulates real null-modem cable.

Virtual Serial Port Control
$199.95 - FabulaTech, Inc.
If there is a task to provide interaction between communications application and your own program (e.g. serial device emulator), there is no common solution to accomplish it. It is considered that communications applications are intended to work only with hardware serial devices connected to physical serial ports.
Virtual Serial Port Control is an ActiveX control which makes it possible to create virtual serial ports directly from your program and fully control them. At the same time virtual ports look like real hardware serial ports for all Windows applications. And any communications application can work with them as if they were physical ports.
On the other hand, developer API provided by Virtual Serial Port Control allows your program to access data written to virtual serial port by communications application and to respond with your own data. The data will be read by communications application from virtual serial port as if they were read from a physical port.
Event driven architecture is a snap to use. You don't have to check ports periodically in order to find if their state is changed or new data available for reading from a port. Simply define a function in your program that will be triggered automatically by the appropriate event and process the data.
At the same time Virtual Serial Port Control immediately notifies your application about any actions done by communications application with serial port (port opening/closing, setting DTR/RTS handshake, baud rate setting, XON/XOFF symbols setting, etc).
Virtual Serial Port Control provides developer with full control over virtual serial port. Everything that can be done with physical serial port by a serial device is possible to be done with virtual serial port by VSPC.
What is more important, OEM license allows you to distribute this ActiveX control as part of your own application and you don't have to license every single copy.

COM Port Splitter
$99.95 - Virtual Serial Port Software
COM Port Splitter establishes serial connection and implements data transmission between COM-ports and applications, or any kind of serial port devices.When Splitter is used to split only real ports and connects them to other physical serial ports, no virtual ports are created. Virtual serial ports are based on a technology by Eltima and are used to connect several applications to the same COM-port. Splitter creates several virtual copies of a COM-port. Applications refer to corresponding virtual ports (for instance, COM2, COM3), which send data to the real COM1 and to a connected device. Then, all data a real port receives from the device is transferred to the applications via virtual ports. Serial Splitter splits one com port (either real or virtual) into several ones, which are exact copies of the original port in the system. For instance, it splits real COM1 into virtual COM2, COM3, COM4 ports. To create a pure virtual ports pair you might also try VSPD XP. Here's a real-life example: A sale on a cash register is made. The cash register sends text via a serial port (COM1) to a computer. The software on the receiving computer takes the text from the serial port, and prints some of it to a video file. Using COM Port Splitter one-to-many ports splitting, this information can be viewed from several computers or applications. COM Port Splitter joins any number of COM ports into one serial port, allowing information from several devices to be received by a single application connected to the port at the OUT side of the bundle. For example: 100 websites are hosted on 100 computers. Via null modem a certain data is delivered from these computers to a PC with a microcontroller. On this PC COM Port Splitter joins com-ports and sends all dataflow to a one virtual serial port. Single application receives and represents all information about the status of a 100 server hosts simultaneously.

Virtual Serial Port Driver Mobile
$49.95 - Virtual Serial Port Software
Virtual Serial Ports Driver Mobile is a brand-new generation of an already popular driver for mobile devices released by Eltima more than a year ago.
Now we bring a totally new level of serial emulation for SmartPhones based on the Windows Mobile platform!
VSPD Mobile is capable of creating up to 20 pure virtual serial ports in your mobile system. This results in up to 10 virtual serial port pairs available
for testing and integration. Two ports in a pair are connected via a virtual null-modem cable and fully emulate real serial ports that may or may not be
present in your device.
You can select any port numbers (between 0 and 9) as a virtual serial port pair as well as decide whether to use a COM or VSP prefix. For example, you can
create virtual pair COM5-COM6 (or VSP0-VSP9). In this case all data sent by other applications to virtual serial port COM5 (VSP0) will be received at
virtual serial port COM6 (VSP9), and all data sent to virtual serial port COM6 will be received at virtual serial port COM5 (VSP0). This can be seen if you
run two terminals connected to both sides of the virtual serial port pair. Everything typed in the first terminal will appear at the second one.
Virtual serial port pairs can be used to transfer files, other data and do anything as if there were additional real serial ports in your smartphone or
Pocket PC. With Virtual Serial Ports Driver Mobile you can connect one application to another using a virtual serial port pair. Applications will be able
to exchange data. This solution can be used, for example, for GPS simulation software. Since version 4.0, VSPD Mobile fully supports all mobile Windows
platforms: for Pocket PCs, for Smartphones, for Embedded devices, etc.

Virtual Serial Port Driver XP4
$111.95 - ELTIMA Software GmbH
Virtual Serial Port Driver XP4 creates two pure virtual serial ports in your system which are virtually connected to each other. For other Windows applications, virtual ports will be seen exactly as two real serial ports connected via null-modem cable. You can select any port numbers for virtual pair. For example, you can create virtual pair COM5-COM6. In this case all data sent by other applications to COM5 will arrive at COM6, and all data sent to 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 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 it was real serial ports. With Virtual Serial Port Driver XP 4.0 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.
