   Dummy/Test serial driver?
  I have a bit of work to do with commanding some equipment through the serial port. I've been told you can get dummy serial drivers which will take whatever you send out of a serial port, and pipe it back in to the same port - allowing you to test the actual read/write functionality.Can anyone recommend one? I'm developing in C++ on Windows XP.   
  Anyone?   ;  That's what loop-back connectors are usually for. There's software variants, but I wouldn't know for Windows, I've only dealt with serial ports under Linux.   ;  Here you go: http://com0com.sourceforge.net/ :)
