I have just downloaded the demo version of the port redirectopr.
I have a POS printer connected via ethernet and i am attempting to send data out com2.
I have tried both MSDOS to copy a preformatted binary file to the printer. i have also used the send text fiile function of hyperterminal.
With hyper terminal the sending of text data is reliable but very slow. There is a definate pause between each line.
With MSDOS the data is sent quickly and the printer prints as as a result, however the printer does not always recieve a complete print job. Like ther is a timeout or handshake problem.
This software ( or the function it claims to provide ) is very usefull for Star Micronics as we have so many customers who want to use ethernet to connect POS printers. there software however will only talk to a serail device.
If this works reliably we would be interested in purchasing this software on an OEM basis.
