Antonio:
Is there a way, using FiveWin, to get the data that comes into a serial port ? Basically, what I am looking to achieve is sending a report from computer A, through its parallel port, and get it on computer B through its serial port. I know there are other programs that exports to PDF, etc. but we are getting the data from a Linux server and the software is so old that only "talks" to physical ports/printers. Thank you.
Gustavo
Are you sure you want to send via parallel port and receive via serial port. They are not compatible. If you have to receive via serial port then you would have to connect 2 serial ports together with a crossover cable.
Gale:
Thank you for your reply. I have a special cable that converts from parallel to serial. The issue is that this old software only talks parallel. Thank you.
Gustavo,
Please review FWH/samples/phone.prg, commtest.prg, testcom2.prg and testcom3.prg
Antonio:
Thank you very much. I'll give it a shot.
Gustavo
