Thanks - that was what I thought.

Good! 😃

Please make this an urgent one for releas ASAP.

Please include the facility to “pass-through” the data to another physical COM port on the PC (as TMT/TE did);

Please also add the facility to “pass-through” the data to a “virtual” COM port on the PC - so that an app on the PC can connect to it (was not possible on TMT/TE - had to use a null-modem cable and 2 physical COM ports).
