[Elecraft] using Virtual serial Port 64

[david Moes]

I gave Lp Bridge a try   Got it to work fine but its not really what I 
am looking for.

I want a totaly hands off option as was the VSPE application.    It 
started at boot up and sat quietly in the systray.    did not need K3 on 
to launch  didn't have to think about order of launching and starting 
other things or connecting and disconnecting.    all programs could be 
set to the same port at any speed so no individual port configurations   
I am not sure what the limits are but I could have more than 5 different 
programs using the K3     it seems that LP-Bridge only allowed five 
virtual ports and each had to be dedicated to a program.   even though I 
don't use all five at the same time    there are many programs that I 
have that access the K3 at one time or another

Don't get me wrong  Lp bridge looks like a great piece of software just 
not what I am looking for.

after much research  there seems to be two alternatives    one is to pay 
for VSPE   and I understand the reason for them to have to charge.     
the second option is to put the computer into driver test mode.   not 
sure what security issues this opens but I know that this is not advised.

anyone else have any  ideas?
