COMM Port Max Speed

[robfinnigan]

Hi,

I've setup my VM to use a physical comm port.  Unfortunately the highest speed the software will connect is 115,200bps.  Anything over that speed just doesn't work.

Is this a limitation of VMWare?  Is it possible to overcome this?  My system needs to connect at 460,800bps.  The physical card is a MOXA CP132 High Speed RS422 Card.  As I say, everything work fine up to 115,200bps.  It also works at 460,800bps at the host.

Best Regards,

Rob.

The Guest OS probably doesn't see the high speed card at the type it is and just sees it as a normal serial port which would typically be 115,200 bit/s max.
