I am working on an application which will run on a Windows 10 Laptop to receive data from a connected device.

As a requirement from the business, the application must use the TCP/IP via serial port (or USB/Serial) and NOT be connected using ethernet.

I have been able to configure a test client using the DotRas wrapper for the winodws RasDial api, but have yet to find any documentation or other implementation for the server side of the connection.

Since the server is actually what I need; I am reaching out to see if anyone has implemented software to listen on TCP/IP via Serial or if anyone has any ideas on where I can further research this option.

I do not have any code to post, as all the code i have written thus far uses the SerialPort classes which do not quite meet the needs.

I am open to any suggestions, including using native c or c++ to achieve the goal - though I could not find anything for those languages either that were short of re-writing PPP.

  • The documtation on DotRas is appalling to say the least. It would appear that clients are PPTP clients, so I would suggest researching that. [I found this from a cursory search](https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/vpn.server.pptpd), I suspect you should be able to find something if you look for PPTP sever. Sorry not to have more. – Kevin Ford Sep 25 '17 at 17:57
