David, you're absolutely right, serial emulation is potentially a
great way to integrate devices, and something I've looked at in some
detail in the past. However, writing a virtual serial port driver
that is reliable and stable across various windows platforms is a
real challenge!
If you're prepared to sacrifice two serial ports (or maybe one, half
duplex) and loop them back, it becomes trivial, but that's a bit of a
nasty hack.
