We have recently introduced a product called "VirtPort". Our goal was to
create a virtual serial port; a comm port that was physically on a Windows PC
(any Windows from 95 on) is virtualized over a TCP/IP network, so that it
appears to be a serial port on a Unix host. The connection is bidirectional,
with flow control. We have not done this for parallel ports yet, but that
should not be difficult.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
