I installed Qemu 0.7.2 on Windows 2000 Pro and I run a Windows 95 in the virtual environement of Qemu. I have an old<br>MS-DOS application to use who communicate on serial port... But it's not working in the virtual environement.

Yeah, I didn't notice you are running QEMU on Windows. I guess serial
port is not redirectable under Windows and there are no current plans
to.<br>
<br>
Under Linux I use -serial to redirect to a pty. Then you can use other
apps or emulators that will talk to a pty device. The most interesting
application here is probably socat or netcat since these will let you
shunt the serial channel onto pretty much any kind of two-way channel
(for example you could connect the pty to a real serial port, or a TCP
connection to an instance of socat on another machine, etc.)<br>
<br>
For anyone who hasn't played with socat it's really an amazing tool.<br>
