Hello everyone, I'm relatively new at perl as I've only used it a couple of times to perform simple tasks, like capturing serial data and outputting to a file, replacing some strings, or add some timestamps. I'm in desperate need of an tcp/ip to rs-232 redirect program. That is to say, i have an application that connects to a tcp/ip host and sends/receives data. I need this data to be output to a COM port on the same machine WITHOUT any modification. That is to say, whatever arrives to the tcp socket i need it to be sent immediately (without waiting for a specific character) to the com port and vice versa. I have found several links to tcp servers and serial port loggers but nothing complete that will perform the task i'm interested in. Could someone please help me? I'm using FreeBSD 6.2 Any help will be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Thanos
