I am not sure if you can help me or not? I have a DOS application and a Windows application that both send output on com1 or com2 only at 9600 Baud. My laptop only has com1 external port, com3 for the Internal Modem and a Virtual com4 as an IR port. I now have a new Mobile Phone that communicates with my Laptop using IR. This does work, as I have downloaded the address book from the phone to the Laptop The problem I have is that I wish to use the two applications to upload to the phone. I can not change the IR port down to com1, it will only use the Virtual com4. There is no means of changing the port. I need to select com1 in the applications but the output needs to go out of the IR port com4 at 9600 Baud. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hmmm... that is a hard one. The program that uses com1 and com2 - can you get it to spit the output to the screen? If you can you might be able to do it something like this (and this is pretty iffy) in a dos window:
