Thanks Doug, not the answer i was looking for but I appreciate the lead to
a
solution.

Yes, I know of Meindert muliplexers but never looked into them for a
solution to my situation..

I'll look through my book marks or hope to hear from Meindert in this
post.

Hi Steve,

I'm afraid VirtualPlex doesn't help you out. This software creates, like
Doug said, multiple virtual ports from one real (com or USB-serial) port.
What you need is something to work the other way around, but inside the
computer.
