I installed socat and set up a virtual serial port over TCP:IP to communicate to an RS232 device remotely



socat pty,link=/dev/virtualcom0,raw,b115200,user=master tcp:192.101.1.198:4000


I can send data properly by using echo "data" > /dev/virtualcom0



My problem is, I need to launch a software who try to open the COM port /dev/virtualcom0 but it return me Can't open port COM: /dev/virtualcom0 bad arguments



The program is using System.IO.Ports SerialPort and return me the error when it launches the function Open(), more details about this, can be found here.



So I think the program can't Open the COM because it's not a real Port COM but a symlink.



Any idea how I can do it?



Best Regards,
