UART Handshaking

Is it possible to use a parallel port to emulate RS-232/UART handshaking lines? If so, is there any example "C" source code available...

  • Parallel port has TTL outputs, so you'd have to convert them to RS-232 levels. Besides, Windows cannot guarantee real-time response to events, so now and then your serial port emulator would choke because of unexpected delays. DOS would do just fine :-)
    If you can overcome those problems, it's entirely possible.
