IPCOMServer is a Telnet server that runs on the Windows 95,98 and ME platforms. It provides the user with a direct connection between a Telnet client and a given serial port (COM1..X). IPCOMServer is a cheap and easy solution to control RS-232 devices without the use of expensive router products like a Cisco? 2511 Terminal server. The IPCOMServer acts as a Telnet server, connecting the user directly to a chosen COM port. IPCOMServer can be connected to by either using a Telnet program or a custom written Telnet Client. A Telnet program will provide the user with a text interface to interrogate the attached RS-232 device. The reason why IPCOMServer was developed was to enable a user to control custom built electronic equipment, or to access remote control test equipment like, TTC Fireberd 4000? or Protocol Analyzers etc.
