"BSOD on Win 7"

Dansilent March 02, 2012 / Version: HW Virtual Serial Port 2.1.5

2012-03-02 07:19:47 | By Dansilent

Pros

It's free.

Cons

Frequent problems with the application.

Summary

I get BSOD on my Windows 7 PC, somewhat randomly, but all too frequently, to make this program usable. When I use a couple of USB to RS232 cables with a NULL modem adapter between them (to do what your product is supposed to be able to do) my programs that use the loopback COM ports work fine and I no longer get the blue screen of death.

It can be set to start at boot up and configure it automatically before any program accesses database.

Cons

Nothing particular.

"Cannot be used for dialup networking"

November 09, 2004 / Version: HW Virtual Serial Port 2.1.5

2004-11-09 15:09:59

Summary

I guess this product is not designed for this but I was hoping it would work. I tried using HW Virtual Serial Port 2.1.6 with Windows 2000 DialUp networking through a pool of modems controlled by a Cisco AS2511-RJ, and although I did manage to connect to the remote network a few times, and even once started up a Terminal Services session, it kept on crashing with memory access violations.
