[OZAPRS] Com Port Emulator Problem

[James Nelson]

Hi Tony,

I am a bit on my own own here trying to work this out so what i am using i
have attached. To put it more simply i just want to connect OZIaprs to a
virtual (emulation) TNC using mix as the packet engine. 

Maybe i have the wrong download but it appears to be  the software serial
port solution i need. If you wouldn't mind having a look at the attached
com port emulator from the site that you posted i would appreciate it. I
think i am trying to invent the wheel here and i guess me not such a good
inventor..... :-(

thanks,


james   VK2JN
