 |
|
I've been trying to find a way of creating a virtual network using serial ports so that I can test a program that sends and receives data via an RS232 link.
Is there a way that I can simply do this.
Thanks
Chris

I don't have much experience in this, but isn't a serial port under linux just like every other file? you can read/write to it? Can't you just use regular files/pipes/sockets? |

I was hoping to have something such as linsnoop (which doesn't compile due to a missing header) so I can test the full functionality of the code.
