Unfortunately, I am not familiar at all with "virtual COM port" 
programming. I just know that is not easy to do, especially if you want 
to get it working on both 9x and 2000/XP like the microham router which 
is really a nice piece of software on this point a vue (and even others)!

Maybe someone else on this list would be interesting to participate with 
you on this project?
