Answer 2

I know of a Open source project called com0com which is virtual com port redirector. there is a subproject called com2tcp in that which you can look atcom0com. otherwise for windows I am not sure you have any open source available Between there are commercially available software such as the one from Eltima and tactical software. there are few freewares too, you can search by the name comport redirector.

you can look at the software development kit from Constellation Data Systems, Inc.
