Hello all,

Using CreateFile("COM...".) it's easy to detect a serial port  that's 
physical present in the computer. (COM1 etc)

However when I try to open the USB-to Serial Port (COM11 etc) from my GPS 
CreateFile fails.

Does somone knows another way how I can detect  those virtual ports?

Thank's a lot!


Regards,


Anton
