I 'manually' perform the com port mapping during logon in a very similar
situation to the example you describe - in this case we use 3 com ports.
Although it's a DOS command it's run within my logon script which is a
KiX script. Something along the lines of :
if ingroup("group")
.
.
.
shel "cmd /c net use com1: \\client\com1: /peristent:no"
.
.
endif
You'll need to check the exact syntax.
Regards,
Alan.

Subject: [THIN] Bidirectional COM port sharing
Hey all,
has anyone come accross or dealt with a situation over terminal services
and
remote desktop where com ports can be shared in two directions? The
situation is that I would need computers at about 8 locations to log
into a
central server. Each computer has two devices attached.
When using these devices locally the first is used for input and the
second
for output. Also the program using these devices always knows what com
port
to expect the devices on. So to further complicate matters the server
will
always need to assign the same virtual port references to the same
computers
each time they log in.
The best imaginary situation I can come up with to give an example of
this
situation is to imagine your local convienience store. The software
running
their tills could be on a central server. The tills themself have a
scanner
for input on COM1. The cash drawer is on COM2 which is opened by the
software when the CASH button is pressed.
How would you even begin to deal with a situation like this?
