Virtual Serial redirector ports to TCP

Hi All,

I am running Parallels Desktop 17 Pro for Mac on a Mac mini M1 with Windows 11 ARM preview version. It is used to monitor weather equipment remotely via the network. Some of these devices have serial interfaces only connected to a serial server. typically one would install a piece of software that creates new virtual devices to these network TCP sockets so that you can simulate connectivity via a local serial port. This won't work under parallels and whenever I try to install the software MSI crashes out with error 0x80020006. I suspect this is Parallels stopping it. I have tried a few machines and always the same problem. So I though if I could create the virtual devices on the host OS which is OS X Monterey (12.0.1) then they could be picked up as serial devices in Parallels that Windows could use. Problem is I cannot find any software for OS X. Anyone have any help here please as I need to get these devices communicating with Windows under Parallels.
