Possible Duplicate: Faking an RS232 Serial Port. I have an application that reads data from serial port. To test the application i would like to create a virtual serial port that generates data and puts the the port at the same PC, so that the other app can access that data.

Nothing ruffles feathers more reliably than a software company announcing changes to its licensing terms. And so it goes with AutoDesk, who recently announced that Eagle would no longer be available as a standalone product and would now be bundled with Fusion 360. It looks like there’s still a free …read moreDIY Ionizer Clears The Air On A Budget
Have you ever had a good, deep breath of the air near a waterfall, or perhaps after a thunderstorm? That unmistakably fresh smell is due to ionized air, specifically negative ions, and many are the claims concerning their health benefits. A minor industry has sprung up to capitalize on the …read moreAwakening A Dragon From Its Slumber
For all the retrocomputing fun and games we encounter in our community, there are a few classic microcomputers that rarely receive any attention. Usually this is because they didn’t sell well and not many have survived, or were simply underwhelming machines that haven’t gathered a huge following today. One that …read moreMaze Solving Via Text Editing
Linux scripters usually know about sed — the stream editor. It has a simple job: transform text as it whizzes from input to output. So if you wanted to solve a maze, this wouldn’t be the tool you’d think to use, right? Well, if you were [xsot], you’d disagree.You …read moreGenerating Beetles From Public Domain Images
Ever since [Ian Goodfellow] and his colleagues invented the generative adversarial network (GAN) in 2014, hundreds of projects, from style transfers to poetry generators, have been produced using the concept of contesting neural networks. Unlike traditional neural networks, GANs can generate new data that fits statistically within the same set …read moreA Supercapacitor Might Just Light Your Way One Day
Sometimes the simplest hacks are the most useful ones, and they don’t come much simpler than the little supercapacitor LED flashlight from serial maker of cool stuff [Jeremy S. Cook]. Little more than an LED, a supercapacitor, USB plug, and couple of resistors, it makes a neat little flashlight that …read moreNanoVNA Tests Antenna Pattern
When [Jephthai] wanted to build his own Yagi antenna, he turned to MMANA software for antenna modeling. This is an antenna analysis program that uses the moment method to calculate parameters for different antenna geometries. After building the Yagi, the predicted tuning and impedance matched the real antenna nicely. But …read more

There two different ports are there.
First one is Physical Ports that are used to connect two different hardwares. It will available behind your CPU. The different types of physical ports :

- Ethernet ports
- USB ports
- Serial/Parallel ports
Using the physical ports only, we connect the Keyboard,monitor,Mouse,Modem to your CPU.
Second one is Virtual Port
We know that physical ports used to connect two hardwares. Likewise , Virtual ports are used to communicate two different applications. Virtual ports are part of TCP/IP networking.

Computers and routers automatically manage network traffic traveling via their virtual ports. Network firewalls additionally provide some control over the flow of traffic on each virtual port for security purposes.
Port is a Virtual path to send and receive data from computers. Like a door in a house. We use the door to go inside home(computer) and come outside right.
A house can have more than 1 door , right? Yes computer has about 65535 doors(sorry ports). In real world, you will name the door as front door,backdoor. It is hard to remember the 65535 doors name so it is better to use numbers(like 1st door,2nd door….65535th door). Each door must have some purpose right? Likewise , Each port has some purpose. Various ports and their purposes
HTTP : 80
SMTP : 25
POP : 110
Telnet : 23
NetStat : 15
Ping : 7
Systat : 11
Time : 13
Whois : 43
SSH : 22

A software which runs on a port is called service.
There are two status for ports namely open and closed. In home , you can enter if the door is open right? you can enter into house ,if it is locked. Likewise you can use opened ports only to connect to the computer. Usually we left our front door as opened. Likewise , computers has also around 5 ports as opened.
In order to find opened ports, you have to search for it. You can use some kind of batch program to scan ports or you can use Port scanners
