Virtual Serial Port Driver XP is a Windows driver‑level software designed to create and manage virtual serial (COM) ports. These virtual ports behave like real hardware serial ports and can be used by existing applications without modification. The software allows data written to one virtual port to be instantly received by another, enabling serial communication emulation on systems without physical serial hardware. It is typically used for development, testing, debugging, and integration of serial‑based software and devices.
