connect two serial port instances from a (ruby) program to a physical serial port (usb0)

http://stackoverflow.com – I have a program (jruby with rxtx on ubuntu-machine) which opens 2 seperate serial ports. Is it possible to connect both of them to one hardware port i.e. ttyUSB0, or alternatively to a virtual serial port (I have a program to simulate the hardware)? Is there something like a software repeater/hub to connect 2 serial ports? I checked socat but this one only connects 2 ends with one another. I have read hint for vde2 and hint for slip/slattach but could not find a solution. (HowTos)

I am creating a python application using twisted which reads lines from a serial port. In order to (unit)test that app without having to connect an actual device to the serial port (also on pc's without an actual serial port) I would like to create a python script/app that sets up a virtual serial port and writes to it, so the twisted app can connect to the other end of the virtual serial port and

I'm debugging a java application that uses RXTX to talk with an instrument via a virtual serial port (/dev/ttyUSB0).

I need to see the commands being sent back and forth. On Windows I have used this application in the past: ADVANCED SERIAL PORT MONITOR http://www.aggsoft.com/serial-port-m...l-port-spy.htm

I need something that does the same on Linux.

It must be able to run on the same machine t

Hi all,

I just updated a 9.04 machine all the way to 11.04 in the last two days. This machines job is to log serial data from what was the second serial port on the motherboard: /dev/ttyS1 at 38400 8N1. That device name now fails and after much digging, I see that serial ports have been renumbered??? I've done "apt-get purge modemmanager".

Hi,

I'm having some serious issues with Ubuntu 9.10 / Karmic when trying to use the serial port.

Tried with the following laptops : - Dell Latitude D620 (using the built-in serial port); - Dell Latitude E6400 (using a USB to serial adapter).

I've got a project that there's no budget for. Basically I need to get a null modem connection set up between our phone systems(physical servers running Win2K8 32b) and our new reporting system(virtual server running Win2K3) in another location. I figured I would use a hardware serial/ethernet adapter and connect it to the VM remotely. This however is expensive at ~80+ per phone system.

I wrote a Java application that connects to the serial port of the GSM modem. On Windows the serial ports have names like COM3, but in Linux Redhat 6.0 I had to switch to something like ttySx (X is number that came after S in /dev/ directory). When I plug my modem in to Linux there are no serial entries in /dev (just ttyUSBx), but on Windows it works fine. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to reverse the protocol used by an early nineties logic analyzer an its PC software. The device is connected via RS-232 (propietary wiring) and communicates with a DOS program, successfully running on DOSBOX.

I'm able to control the device with the original software but it would be useful to autimathe the downloading of data from the analyzer using a custom program but to do so I need
