Virtual Null Modem

Whenever you need to connect two applications that require a serial port connection, you can use a null modem. This would be achieved using two computers or two physical ports, but you could use an emulated null modem, which would not need additional hardware.

Virtual Null Modem is a handy application that can create a virtual connection point, known as emulated null modem. You can use the virtual null modem to connect to different applications to each other.

The program helps you create virtual null modems quick and easy, by specifying the ports used for the connection. You can set the interference for each connection, so that your data transmission will be faster or slower. This is a very useful for software developers, as they can simulate real-world data transmission, along with any other errors that might occur.

You can select the type of null modem that will be created, such as a full handshake connection or a loop back handshake type.

A virtual null modem has many advantages over a physical one, because it does not require a serial cable and the computer's physical serial ports still remain free for use. You can create unlimited virtual connections, which usually have higher transmission speeds that their physical counterparts. On top of that, any other application will not be able to detect differences between a real or virtual serial port.

Virtual Null Modem allows you to create any number of virtual connection points without having to use cables for each serial port. You can now connect applications over your local network or Internet, without the restrictions created by cable length or data transmission speeds.
