I just don't see how to 'serve' that named pipe from my laptop. I've read around about creating named pipes and such, but I still don't see how to map my COM1 port to the named pipe so I can then in turn connect to it with a virtual machine.Is this possible to do? Is my thought process flawed? Interesting information in those links. Thanks for that.
I'll continue studying them more, but the information is geared for VMware. I'm using either Hyper-V (prefered) or Sun VirtualBox if I have to. If you have anything geared more toward Hyper-V that would be great.
I think I understand how to set up the Hyper-V side to connect to the named pipe. I think what I have to do is figure out how to get the COM port linked to the named pipe so I can then connect the Hyper-V machine to it. Would you know how to do that part specifically?There's a lot of information in the links you provided so I'll keep looking.
