![]() ![]() But I suspect that other aspects will prove to bethe more challenging.Yes, that is correct. So building blocks like Indy10 and similar is what I amlooking for.The IP-related parts of the task should be fairly straightforward toachieve with Indy. ![]() I want to do it within Pascal so I have some control, but I do notknow enough low level stuff to be able to do it down to thehardware. And, if nothing else, I expect that thesource code would provide a useful example of how to write a Windowskernel-mode virtual COM port driver. I tried doing it recently but got stucked.It is not a Delphi component but it does provide the means to fake amodem type link between two Windows PCs over an IP network andterminating in virtual COM ports for use with legacy software thatexpects to see such things. It looks more like a readymade utility and with a LOT ofconfig stuff to go through. I suggested a solution:com0com seems NOT to to be a component or object you can use in yourown sources. So Icould quickly create the utility and run it on the Raspberry Pi.Now I need a serial to WiFi in the same kind of setting but now forsupport of old applications.Bo BerglundSweden & Texasnow using XanaNews 1.20-0cfde51. ![]() ![]() I dropped it then but now I amagain trying to do it.This time around I am looking for a way to make it cross-platform too.For some of the targets I want to build in FreePascal.Note that some time ago I needed to do an Ethernet to WiFi redirectorto run on a Raspberry Pi and was directed here towards an Indycomponent that was already doing almost exactly what I needed. You canconnect to that WiFi network and then the internal serial port data areavailable on port 2101 on the AP itself.I would like to create a small utility to map from a serial port to theTCP such that I do not have to start digging deep into the applicationcode to modify the connection system there.Any suggestions?-Bo BerglundSweden & Texasnow using XanaNews 1.20-0cfde51.Īnd for alternatives:I see that you were the one asking the question then alsoAnd still I have found no solution. Is it possible (using Indy for example) to map a serial port to aremote server's TCP port?I have an old application that talks to a data collection system viaRS232 and now the equipment has changed to remove the serial portexternally and instead connect it to a WiFi AP on board. ![]()
