[WriteLog] Software to share serial port among two applications?

[Bob Gates]

Jim-

You might try the following:

http://www.download.com/Franson-SerialTools-SDK/3000-10253_4-10377423.html?tag=lst-0-2

It enables you to add/manage additional virtual ports, etc. and costs $30.  Hope 
this helps.

  I would like to share a single COM (serial) port between two
  applications (DX4WIN and Writelog), so they can both have access to
  rig control.

  Jozef OM7ZZ sent me a link to a product from Eltima:

  This seems like a rather expensive solution ($100).

  Does anyone have direct experience with this or similar products
  before I go out and spend that kind of money?
