Virtual Serial Port Driver

Virtual Serial Port Driver creates virtual serial ports and links them so applications can communicate as if connected by a physical serial cable, without additional hardware. Paired virtual ports exchange data transparently and each virtual port emulates real port behavior, reflecting configured parameters and runtime status for inspection. This eliminates the need for physical adapters, reduces clutter and hardware constraints, and allows legacy software to operate without modification while enabling direct data exchange between paired applications. It also offers integration interfaces for use by other programs and automation; a free virtual serial ports emulator is available for basic testing and development.

WT COM Port Redirector Legacy

WT COM Port Redirector Legacy is a free utility that creates virtual serial (COM) ports mapped to networked serial devices, allowing traditional serial applications to communicate with networked equipment without modifying the applications. It supports a variety of networked serial endpoints and simplifies integration of serial peripherals into modern networks, extending the life of legacy software with a small, easy-to-use solution; a no-cost alternative is available called "Scanner Free."

Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel

Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel is a free utility that mounts virtual CD and DVD images, offering a simple, no-frills English interface and a very small disk footprint compared with many similar tools.

Alternatives include CD-ROM Control Free and other virtual-drive utilities.

WT COM Port Redirector Plug Play

A utility that creates virtual serial ports and forwards serial traffic across a network so legacy serial applications can communicate with remote devices without a direct serial cable. By redirecting serial data over a network, it enables remote operation of hardware that uses traditional serial protocols and preserves existing application behavior. This simplifies multi-device setups, reduces cabling, and helps extend the useful life of older equipment. It benefits technicians, small businesses, hobbyists, and developers by centralizing serial device management, keeping unmodified software working, and making distributed testing and maintenance easier.

ComPortInfo

ComPortInfo is a compact utility for inspecting and managing serial ports. It reveals per-port details such as which process last accessed a port and the port’s current status, shows hardware capabilities and default parameters (supported signal lines, baud rates, parity, etc.), offers multiple viewing modes for listing ports and connection types, and can safely remove, restart or reset ports to restore connectivity without a full reboot. It exposes both software- and hardware-level information to help determine whether a problem is configuration- or hardware-related. Technicians, embedded developers, and advanced users who work with serial devices will find it useful for precise control, quick diagnostics, and recovering misbehaving hardware without disrupting other system components.
