I don't 100% sure, if the follow information is correct. I have received it
times
ago for windows 98. Maybe the XP has changed the rules. One should check
this.
Just to mention, direct port programming or posix in windows is not
sufficient.
Using the windows API is a requirement, because every virtual com port need
it.
I have seen one motherboard, that don't have legacy ports, only usb, and a
usb to serial and usb to ethernet chip on the Motherboard !!!.
Surely, it's not the usual case, maybe in future, it can. And if the win
user
need a usb cable, then the windows API must used. Only a handfull usb
converter
implement the mapping between posix kernel calls and windows API. The most
implement
only the windows api.
