Not yet I think. But there is patch on its way that might help you:
DirectSerial patch

Thank you very much.

My son is a programmer now working in the USA and has built a dos box before. He works in C++ every day and is going to put this together for me over the next week. I'll post the outcome.

Stuart (my son) has compiled the program now and the serial port works fine now.

Thanks for your help.

Good to hear, George!

George, would it be possible to get a copy of your son's patched program to try out?

Hi George, I read about "compiling the patch" but I don´t understand anything about this, so i´d be happy if could have a copy of your son´s program too.

Thanks Philipp

The topic is here:
DirectSerial patch

I was download the zipped program: download.php?id=1413 (name: dosbox_cvs_serport_win32.zip), unzip file to dosbox program directory, put msvcp71.dll and msvcr.dll to c:\windows\system directory, but my dos program don't look serial port.

This program require any settings?

Probably. Type in config -writeconf dosbox.conf inside DOSBox. Exit from it and edit dosbox.conf using Notepad. Check for relevant configuration strings there. 😎

I typed:

Type in config -writeconf dosbox.conf inside DOSBox

Then edit my dosbox.conf:

WTF?

1. What version of DOSBox are you using?

2. Try renaming your dosbox.conf first, then launching DOSBox and doing the writeconf thing. You'll get lots of helpful comments if you're using a recent version.

1. What version of DOSBox are you using?

0.6.3 (latest)

i follow your instructions, the comments removed by me, the code is shortest in this list...

The dosbox_cvs_serport_win32.zip is actually from February 2005 CVS.

I dowbload the latest (2005.04.25) cvs, extract to a folder, but when i start it, no sdl.dll error msg is present.
I copyed sdl.dll from dosbox 0.63 (stable) directory to the cvs program directory, but the com port don't work 🙁
The error msg in dosbox terminal:
Exit to error: set priority command not handled

What's the problem?

Dosbox's interrupt controller is not completely implemented.

😒

ok, i waiting for version 0.64 🙁(

Try a recent CVS build.
