Hyper-V Using COM port in Virtual Server

COM1 port on the host? In the setting, i see where you can enter some

Re: Hyper-V Using COM port in Virtual Server

The only real way to do this is use a third party product such as
FabulaTech's Virtual Serial Port Kit:

The pipes thing won't work to connect to COM1.
