LPT and COM port redirect

[Guest_imported]

Hello!

I have the folowwing situation:

I had an external device before and i've replaced it with a newer one. The old one was connected to the computer through the LPT1 port and there was a small program which coordinated the data transfer.
But the newer device is connected to the COM1 port instead of LPT1, and i have no program for it, the old program only handles LPT1.

Is it possible to "catch" the data sent by the program, and reditect it to COM1, and vice-versa (redirect data from COM1 to LPT1 so the old program can process it)?

If something is not clear, please ask.
