    Hi all!

    Is there any chance to reach a virtual com port created in Windows (parallels) from a software running in Mac?

    Thank you in advance

    You can reach serial port via sockets. In a virtual serial port preferences choose existed socket or enter a new socket name and appropriate socket mode. For example you can set up windows kernel debugging by specifying /tmp/com1, client mode for machine under debugging and specify exactly same socket /tmp/com1 in server mode for machine with debugger. VM with socket connected in server mode shall be started first, in other it is required to connect virtual serial port in client socket mode later. Also simple terminals should work in similar way.
