serial port mux?

[jparks29]

I have a BCT15, I have hardware serial port that's feeding NMEA data INTO my computer in the car.

I also have another hardware serial port going TO the BCT15.

I wanna be able to pipe the NMEA input to the other serial port, and be able to kill it for that 1% time that I'll be programming it or controlling it, without having to plug into the front port.


So... basically, pipe data from COM1 to COM2..

NMEA----->COM1 -------> COM2

I tried Xport, but it looks like it can only create virtual ports, not forward to hardware ports.

Suggestions? The only software I seem to find is $150 (ouch!)

Thanks!

I ruled it out based on previous usage.

Apparently they've added some features, including the one I need!
