2. Virtual COM port - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_COM_port

   A software-based virtual serial port presents one or more virtual serial port identifiers on a PC which other applications can see and interact with as if they were real hardware ports, but the data sent and received to these virtual devices is handled by software that manipulates the transmitted and received data to grant greater functionality.

3. USB-to-serial adapter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-to-serial_adapter

   When the USB to serial adapter is connected to the computer via the USB-port the driver on the computer creates a virtual COM port which shows up in Device Manager on Windows, and under /dev on Linux and MacOS. This virtual COM port can be accessed and used as if it was a built-in serial COM-port.

4. Serial port - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port

   A male D-subminiature connector used for an RS-232 serial port on an IBM PC compatible computer along with the serial port symbol. A serial port is a serial communication interface through which information transfers in or out sequentially one bit at a time. [1]

5. Null modem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem

   A virtual null modem is a communication method to connect two computer applications directly using a virtual serial port. Unlike a null modem cable, a virtual null modem is a software solution which emulates a hardware null modem within the computer. [6] [7] All features of a hardware null modem are available in a virtual null modem as well ...

6. Device driver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver

   Attempts by the guest operating system to access the hardware are routed to the virtual device driver in the host operating system as e.g., function calls. The virtual device driver can also send simulated processor-level events like interrupts into the virtual machine. Virtual devices may also operate in a non-virtualized environment.

7. SIO (software) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIO_(software)

   SIO is a serial port driver package for OS/2 written by Raymond L. Gwinn. It is designed to not only improve performance over OS/2's default serial drivers, but also improve compatibility. SIO contains a virtualized FOSSIL (VX00) driver that can be loaded to provide FOSSIL support to DOS based communications software.

8. COM (hardware interface) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COM_(hardware_interface)

   COM port (DE-9 connector). COM (communication port) [1] [2] is the original, yet still common, name of the serial port interface on PC-compatible computers. It can refer not only to physical ports, but also to emulated ports, such as ports created by Bluetooth or USB adapters.
