Hello,

Is it possible to have 2 navigation programs running under Windows 98SE
at the same time, using NMEA on the same serial port (com1)

Thank You
Philippe


All of them that I happen to be aware of are for NT/2000/XP. Search
on "virtual serial port" and you'll see some examples. Maybe there's
a 98SE version out there. Alternatively, you can add a serial port to
most machines cheaply. USB/Serial converter, PCMCIA card, whatever.
You could then drive both ports by tee'ing off the cable. What two
programs are you trying to run? There may be other options.

To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.

Take a look at cpRepeater, my NMEA data integrator, repeater, and
logger at http://www.worldwidewiley.com/
